They don't follow their own schedule

August 16, 2016 2:39am CST
I seldom notice before that they had a date for a water pump maintenance on the water . I didn't check the last time and we ended up having a water shortage forcing me to reserve what ever water we have left. Now a got a bill last week and remembered the date, the night before I decided to store more water on buckets and empty big water bottles. But it's shame that today there's still water on the faucet. I won't throw the excess water just yet or they might turn it off tonight or tomorrow.

That is really hard, without warning and you don't have water to drink, bath and to clean. If only they follow the schedule and things would have been easier to handle.

Hello @ilocosboy This is why I'm keeping the excess water until tomorrow, they may have change their schedule because of sudden rain again afterwards.

@Ritu96 I realized that water is more importnt than electricity. if you have water, plants and veggies, you could live.

many areas were waterless for the past two days. they said it was turned off because the water in the dam was mixed with mud.

Two days of no water is SUFFERING already. You know last time we had almost three days of no water after a huge typhoon. I'm thinking of buying another drum @magallon
