JudyS Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Do you know who the administrator for your water district is, so you can find out what's going on? No water for days is an extreme situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundageba Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Yah.. I got it Keith. Just up the road on the highway there's a hole in the line with the pressure being relieved . Maybe they need to replace the screw cause right now...we're scr**wd. Eh.....it is what it is. We've got some bottled water to drink. OK.....I'm going out to the baby pool for a bath and to collect some toilet flush water. One day the water will be back. Looks like rain. We've taken a shower in the roof water from the downspout before. It's quite refreshing.

Keith Woolford Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Our reserve is OK at the moment but only because we were away for a bit. Let's hope it comes on tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Just got done with our baby pool filled bucket and a cup bath. ( we figured that should bring the water...always seems to). Got all dried off and a neighbor calls to tell us the Mayor is on it and water should be coming in tonight. For sure as soon as I hear it trickling in I'm rinsing off this chlorine ! I feel like I've been swimming in a municipal swimming pool ! Meanwhile we scooped up some water from the pool for morning toilet flushes just in case. Got the neighbors all set up too. Edited April 22, 2016 by Admin_01 adjusted text formatting.

Brundageba Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 600 gal Tank was full in the morning. At midnight before we went to sleep the 600 tank was close to empty. (Somebody working for the twin of Boquete works late hours.) By the time we finished our morning coffee, the Brisas community water supply was again off. It's rare now to have water flowing during the day. You have to have a reserve tank in this area. I might mention that it was the visit of one of our community residents to the Mayor's office that got the water running. We are appreciative.
