Apparently the city is fixing the water main that caused our water to be out for almost 48 hours a couple of weeks ago. They said it would be out from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., but it’s almost 11 a.m. and it’s still out. So much for me putting any trust in the city now….they’ve lied to us way too many times . I do think about how much water we’re saving without flushing so much, though. I guess that’s one positive. However, I’m not too motivated to get up if the water is not on. It makes my morning routine much more difficult.

I’m starting to tally the hours the water has been out. I’d love to get a gallon of water for each hour it is out past the allotted time. Or even better–$5 knocked off of our bill for each hour it’s out after 7 a.m.
