Default Water Concerns

Have any of you ever been concerned about a water shortage in your area?

recently my water provider called our supply of water to be in a drought. And a few weeks later the state declared a state wide drought.

at about 1:15am in the morning i woke up thirsty and went to get a drink of water and notice the water font had very low water pressure. i checked the bathrooms to find low water pressure there too. I then went outside with my mother to find no water leaking..

I went back to bed very concerned about what was going on. Then at about 1:30am my mother comes in my room and tells me she is hearing a lot of water. We go outside and a large flow of water is gushing down the street gutters. I rush up the hill to find a semi open hydrant.

I called my water provider and minutes later they arrived and all the water from the hydrant was off by 1:45am water pressure returned, but my mind is still concerned.

Have you ever consider how much you take water for granted? Kind of like cheap gas, and oil.

we go through a drought every year. literally every year. that said we never have had a shortage. there are enough lakes, rivers, and aquifers in this area to supply water for everyone. they impose optional ration days (based on the last digit of your address) to help with relief but again we've never had a big problem

So why in the hell was the hydrant open? And why did that happen to coincide with the announcement of a drought? Also, do you have your water service provider on speed dial? And is it not kind of weird that they'd be available at 1:30 am?

Monte, is your water service provider God?

before i shower i always leave the water running so that they will heat up, so during that time i like to take a leak. by the time i'm done, the water is hot and dandy, AND i've given some fluids back to mother nature

wow, that sounds kinda hot

East Bay Mud is my water provider. My mom had just paid the bill so she handed me the bill and on the back there was a emergency number.

I don't think it's too weird that they were available so quickly, because i believe we have a East Bay Mud employee who lives about a mile from my house with a company truck.

i did get my video camera out last night, but it was too late they got the water turned off. before i was able to tape.

I don't know why the hydrant was open

Every time I go to Honduras, the water always gets shut down for 2-3 days ( I stay anywhere from a couple of week to a month). If that sort of thing happened here it would be the new crisis.

Na, i dont think about wasting water though.

At least Monte is posting on here and not molesting children.

27 and living with his parents is kind of pathetic.

To answer the op - I live in Scotland, water is not a problem. It is raining just now.
