Eveyone can.t live without water. we need this in order to survive, In the place where we live we need to buy water in order for us to have something to use. We have to spend at least 480 a week, that is 160 per tank. The main problem of our subdivision. is water. Before we don't have these kind of problem. When you open your faucet there is alraedy hot water coming from the main pipe or if you want you can used the cold one or mixwd it to your taste. But now, not even a single drop will came up. No more water. We need to buy, It is really horrible that our subdivision is th larges in the Philippines, and most people who lived here are the elite class. Which means people from the society. They say that there will be enough water supply, but the owner want it to control by them the private sector to which they will sell at a higher cost. All homeowners want it directly to the main sources so as to lessen the burden of expenses brought by the high cost of living now a days. Even th elite needs to tighten their belt in order to survive. Whats more belonging to the middle class as well as the lower class. When can we find solution if there are some people who are greedy when it comes to money. I just do hope that these will have a fie solution . The benefits of the whole should come first and not by a few.

Water is definitely the most precious thing available to us, and in Australia we are realising that more every day because of recent and continuing drought conditions. Human beings have taken it for granted far too long - and it's horrible you are now having this problem with turning on taps that are dry! Fresh water should be available for everybody, and once it gets to the stage where only the rich can have it, we are all doomed.

Thanx for replying back. Actually the main problem here in our area is that our place was higher, add to it the increasing popultaion of the place. No problem before with water. We even have hot and cold water in our faucet. anyway we have here purified, mineral, destilled water to buy. we can still have safe drinking water to drink. We can also buy 1 tank of water to fill our own tank for our daily needs. Again rthanx for the ideas you gave. Have a nicr day.
