vent - water company

So my city has lead water pipes that are old. They are replacing the lead water pipes, which is good.

But I am annoyed because now my water is hooked up to my house with a freaking hose down the street. Literally a blue hose that is hooked up to the spigot for the hose outside. And right now I have no water and had to let the water guy in my house to do something. Good thing I am home today...I guess.

And I see people end up with these hoses for weeks in the neighborhood. So I am not feeling confident that the work will be completed quickly. And I guess my water pressure is going to suck.

I would be less than thrilled. But it is better than no water right? Have you tried to take a shower or run the washer or dryer. LOL I wonder if you will be able to do that stuff.

Coming from a town with nasty old pipes I would put up with it for cleaner water. I'd still be annoyed a bit.

When they flush the pipes here the water turns Coca-cola brown and full of sediment, then just mild sediment for a day or two. So gross.

yeah I am afraid to run the washing machine....I think I am going to be hooked up to this for at least a week, though, and I kind of need to do laundry. I should have done some this morning but I was being lazy.

My husband is a plumber and has to set up people with hoses when there are breaks. You should be able to function as normal.
