me and my mother just found out that we are without water. At first we thought that they cut it off because they did't get our payment from the night time depoistory. My mother called and the lady told my mother that there is a major water line brake and they had been working on it all night long and it was suppose to be fixed 2 hours ago but they ran into some more problems. Just figured I would share.
At least it's the citys fault and not yours. I have a well and last year my pump in the ground (350ft below ground) went out. I was with out water for a little over 2 weeks cause it took that long for a company to get a rig in. Finally my grandfather drove his rig from Maine (he owns a well drilling biz) got his permit here just to fix my well. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for it but if I would of it would have cost me about 2,000. All the well drilling biz here were booked for weeks and in order to get the pump outta the ground we needed the rig. Gotta love having faimly that is willing to drive a 22wheeler (also has a "wide load" sign) from one end of the states to the other!!
Ick! I know how that feels. They were re-doing our lines once and we were without for an entire day. Crazy how you don't realize how much you depend on water until it's gone!
Man Stormy, I couldn't imagine being without water that long! Good thing you had family to help! My parents and my inlaws both have wells. I HATE my inlaws water. It always smells sulfurish or eggish. And my parents well water always has a tad bit of sand in it. They're really worried about that. They don't know if there is leak or what. I hope their well isn't going dry. But it's weird because there will only be sand in it sometimes.

I hate even going an hour without water. I feel like am constantly doing laundry, dishes, or cooking...so even a minute without it would cause panic in this house.
WATER IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING, NEXT TO AIR... I thank god for water every time I drink it.
The administration we have will PERMANENTLY POLLUTE THE GROUNDWATER with their oil drilling passion [that will profit only them]. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU VOTE FOR, please don't let the water all go away....
