🚰 Still without clean waer 🚰 UPDATE

 


We are still without clean water.   From the water main break of Sunday morning.   We still have to use bottled water, which one of our sons brought over, Sunday morning...  So that we don't have to boil water, to use it.


I am OC.  I probably wash my hands a *million* times a day, regularly.   During this water main break, we have to use Wet Wipes for any/all cleansing.  Yes, I'm glad I still have a stash of Wet Wipes, from my Covid-Stock-Up time.  But they are not the same as a good wash, with soap and water.   -sigh-  We can not shower, because don't want not-clean water to get in our eyes, nose, mouth, etc. 
 
  Let's face it.
We are a city of dirty people.
LOLLLLLL


Just texted a Grandson and he is in school!  I really  didn't think they would.


Please be conscious today, of every time you turn on a tap and clean water flows from it.  Give the faucet a little pat, and "tell it" that you will not take it for granted, any more.  😌


Think this experience will push me to keep some bottled water on hand.   Not a lot, but some..

🚰

I read an Instagram/blog of a lady who does prepare.   Not with dry food and and that *preppy* sort of stuff.  But growing their own food...  Vegetables and meat.  Preserving it, various ways.  Keeping a back up supply of water.   Heating with wood stove and cooking with wood stove.   Etc., etc., etc.  Their  goal is to be able to survive, in 1800 conditions.   And that is a lofty goal.   Good for them!

🚰

Few of us have the land area or even the *drive*  to attempt such.  We are the products of the age in which we live.  So we had better *keep good thoughts flowing,* for the good of our Water, Electricity, and etc. Systems.  😉

UPDATE

Boil Water Directive was removed about an hour after I posted this!!!!  Then we had to run all water taps, to clear any air buildup and any *crappy* water, left in pipes.

 

You have no idea how wonderful it is, to have clean running water again!!!!

 

Plus, the bottled spring water tasted awful!!!!  Our own water is so much more tasty.  😋😋😋😋

😋💜😋

That doesn't sound good at all - to be without water.
I am very sorry. And now in winter, with the frost and cold, it's probably not easy to fix.
I keep my fingers crossed for you.
Yes. Let good thoughts flow.
Your garden with the fir tree and the fresh snow is so wonderful... no negative thought comes to mind while looking at it.
Despite the difficulties right at the beginning of the year, I wish you a happy and happy 2023... in any case, much better days are coming.
A big hug from Viola from Germany.
I will include them in my prayers. Hug.

Oh my goodness, whan will it ever end? Does anyone have an estimate? My favorite is the last picture.

We have an old well and pump here and I sure hope it doesn't fail! I have NEVER purchased a bottle of water! Never want to. Hang in. You now know its true value!

I'm so happy for you to have running water again. We do take things for granted until we don't have them.

Marie Smith said...

Yay! Glad you are back in this century again! Take care.

Yippee! Such a relief to have flowing water again. We do take it so much for granted.
Because of our risk here for earthquakes and volcanic eruption, we always have a stash of water bottles tucked away. One never knows ...

Carla from The River said...

Good News!! Yay for water. And yes, do not take these conveniences for granted.

A good reminder not to take anything for granted, even the simplest of things. So glad you have your water back. Thank you for another lovely post with the beautiful illustrations. I am heading to the faucet right now and will give it a little tap of thanks as I do the dishes :)

I am so glad the problem has been resolved now.
Enjoy your shower! :)

Lori said...

Glad your water is back. I always have bottled water for drinking and old cartons filled with water for washing hands or flushing toilets. You just never know.

Catherine said...

Glad your water problem is solved!

Jeanette said...

Occasionally that happens to us too and we go under a boil water directive for a few days. It' is such a nuisance, I agree! Glad you have clean water again!
