we have our own water issue...
the pressure valve on the hot water heater went out on us,sometime during the day on friday. in which that flower bed on the other side of that wall,got flooded,some what,when it comes to where,that water drains into...2 guys with the water company came out,to check the water regulator on the water meter,just to make sure,thats not the problem.it wasn't. it was set at 70psi. which is good..one of the landlords decided she wants it to be set at a lower setting,of 55psi...in which i guess they did,like their suppose to..then 2 different guys finally show up to replace the pressure release valve on the hot water heater..in which they did..they go to the outdoor faucet,to check the water pressure..it is now at 125 psi..i went into the kitchen later on,just to find out.there's very little water pressure. so i go outside,just to find out,that the outdoor faucet has been blown off,due to,to much water pressure. now im without running water..and that flower bed is now flooded real good..i now go out and shut off the water..my now 2 primary concerns are.1st is.i need to shower.my 2nd one is..i need to wash the dishes..i finally got the outdoor faucet fixed..then.i managed to shower,simply by opening the facets in the bathtub..then the shower..this way.to much pressure dont build up in the plumbing...then i went out and opened the water meter.then went in n showered.then the water meter got shut off again.now here it is saturday morning.and im still without running water,so to speak..it's a good thing,that i have some 1 gallon jugs of water.seeing how that allowed me to fix my morning coffee..
bottom line is this..it pays to have a back up source of water on hand.for when it's needed.yes,i still take a shower,and other things in the bathroom,when needed,.by taking the proper steps,to make sure the pipes dont bust on me.when the water meter is on/open..but other then that.the water is shut off..as for as washing the dishes goes.i can easily use one of the 1 gallon jugs of water for that..and use the microwave to heat up the water.if needed.
got water??
