No Water Supply Since Two Days.

You actually do realize the value of things when you don’t have them. In India most of the place there are so many water supply issues that you only get water once in three days. Back to our old place we had water 24x7 flowing so we were not so much use to storing water but since we have shifted to a new place our routine has changed. Here the water comes only in the morning for 15 minutes maximum, just imagine what can be done in those 15 minutes. We were just adjusting to those 15 minutes of water supply and suddenly from the past two days no water. Its in the morning when we heard that the motor which pushed the water to overhead tank has been burnet and have no idea when it will be operative. Me and my husband had to go three floors down and up just to get two gallons of water drinking purpose. Hope the issue gets resolved tomorrow and the water supply resumes.

If we had some warning when these things were going to happen, it would be easier. When storms are headed our way we prepare by having water ready. Without a warning, it gets complicated.

You should get containers with covers and store as much as you can when it comes again.

@Kandae11 Yes we have a container in which we do, but that doesn't prove to be much of a help. Will have to bring in some more.

I hope everything will be fine and will be able to have water supplies 24/7. Water is very basic needs that we use in our dailyblifestyle specially in cooking and cleaning and good hygiene to avoid sickness too.

@luisadannointed Sorry for late reply, but things have got on track since the last 3 months or so they had an extra pipeline fitted to cope with the water issues.

A lack of water is a major problem and should not exist in this day and age.

@Asylum You said it but its something that the thick skulls won't get it inside. Now things have changed a little bit with much arguments on the issue, let's see how long it stays that way.

I can understand that situation of yours because we have faced it a lot of times. And believe me the higher you reside the tougher it gets lifting the the drums filled with water.

Water is essential for all activities. Without water, it is very difficult to survive. Nowadays. water has become scarce. People are facing too many problems without water. Here also people are facing difficulty without water. Don't worry, the issue will get resolved very soon.

True, the water issue was long time ago now. They had us added a new pipeline installed to deal with the issue. Hope everyone facing water problems get relief soon by some means.
