A Town Without Water / myLot

Melbourne, Florida

October 5, 2017 10:35pm CST

Tonight my husband and I decided to try a different restaurant in town so we stopped at one close to home. We chose one and parked the car and looked forward to something different. When we got to the door someone came out and told us it was closed. We thought that it was strange but got back in the car and went to another place. When we got there, same story. We thought maybe this was a joke. Someone came out and told us there was no water. Again we got into the car and decided to go to the other side of town. We tried 3 other only to find out that the whole town had no water. We left and found one outside of town. We had a nice dinner then went home. We were home less than 10 minutes and we got a call the whole town had a water crisis. If we had any water we have to boil it as there was a major break in the line and if we managed to get any we could not drink it. Like I said in another post recently, if it is not one thing its another.

I think that they should have made mandatory to close the restaurants, because someone "not too serious" could have decided to keep open and use contaminated water.

We were surprised to see the restaurant opened and thought it was in a different district.

@ramapo17 If all the area has no water, I suppose that they also had water problems.

@LadyDuck They do have water but it can be contaminated. The district does not want to take the chance of any medical problems. When we went out today many restaurants were still closed.

I don't know but we were campers for years so we know how to survive. We always have at least 3 5gallon bottles handy for our water cooler and cases of water.

That is horrible. I know what it is like to be without water. Wow, that is horrible to go to a restaurant to eat and find out they do not have water. How long were you and the town without water?

Maybe they should have notified you earliest to avoid such inconvenience.

You are right but I guess it is hard to reach everyone quickly.

It must be hard for you. Water is the center of everything, cleaning, drinking and many more and it is one thing you cannot do without. Hope the problem is rectified soon.

Today we got a message to boil the water if we needed it but we always have bottled water here so we didn't worry much.
