It's amazing how accustomed you can become to living without running water.

The city is in the process of cleaning out the water tanks. Due to the enormous amount of chlorine they put in the water, they have to clean the tanks ever now and then or the water becomes milky.  I'm in complete support of this idea, however we have no idea when the water will come back on.  People are telling us it could be a week, but no one really knows what's going to happen.

Fortunately we have a few jugs of water set aside for flushing the toilet but that's about it.  Needless to say, there will be very limited cooking this week.  The really strange part to me is that no one here seems the least bit annoyed that there's not going to be water for a week.

   I thought about you all this week when we turned our water on one night and it was brown. I called the city, and they said they were cleaning out a fire hydrant and the water would be clean the next day. It was a major inconvenience, but it made me realize how much we take clean water for granted. I can't imagine not having any running water for a week.
