No water since afternoon.....

There has been no water supply since lunch time here. Apparently they sent a notice to be signed by all residents to get the consent of doing so. I was at work yesterday when they came for door to door signature. My elder one signed it and she conveniently forgot to tell us. So soon after my lunch when I went to wash my hand, I noticed this slow flow. That reminded my daughter about the notice. Well we had some ten minutes to store enough water for drinking and two buckets for other use. It is supposed to be back by 7 in evening. They are fixing individual water meters. And that's an excellent idea to discipline water usage. Once you pay for something you use it judiciously. Earlier we all shared the water expense and every one paid equal amount irrespective of their usage. That was not fair. Now in this new rule, you pay a minimum amount if your usage is below a limit. A certain limit is free but if you cross the limit, it's going to be four times the charge. They have come up with a fair and smart calculations And we are happy. We are judicious about water expenditure. And so definitely we will get less amount to be paid from April. My daughters wanted some food for evening snack. No water meant we can't cook any of our evening snacks. Even fruits need to be washed and we don't want all water to get over before 7. It might get delayed till 8_9. So I ordered some spring rolls. We are enjoying it. That will keep us full for some time. Dinner might also get a little delayed as I can make it only when water is there.
