No water for a while

Kampala, Uganda

Since yesterday, there has been shortage of water in our area. They announced last week about it but people didn't mind about it. They are fixing some new pipes that supply the city. Now they had to break the old one ones. Hope they fix them soon because water is scarce and it has taken time without raining. Have you ever experienced it there?

Good question, it does not seem that we are having this issue but we are still in new estate so there is a change that we will need to change the pipe eventually. But for now all is good.

Yes we had the same issue yesterday with no drinking water. The reason was that the all the muddy rain water entered the filtration plant due to heavy rains for the last 2 days. So they had to shut down the plant

Most of the time, if the water would be cut off, they would just cut off here. But it's a rare case.

We have had no shortages (knock on wood); and it has been raining frequently.

No, where I live now has deep wells and not an issue, I did live in an area once though where the water supply got contaminated with giardia and people had to boil the water before using.

I have, and it's not any fun. We've had summers with wildfires and no rain. Smoke was so bad one year it changed the color of the street lights.
