Is It Safe To Shower While Having An Open Burn Wound On The Buttocks?

I live in Austin, Texas and today we have received a boil water use ban from flooding water due to heavy rain, the first ever. I burned one of my buttocks while sitting on a too hot heating pad and am receiving wound care for the burn. We have been told by the city of Austin we cannot drink our water but that it is fine to take a shower. With the open wound on my bottom do you think it is safe for me to shower?
