Onemore52 Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 After ten days without water I am of the opinion that buying an automatic washing machine is a total waste of money. We did go to the provider to find out what is going on and the customer service representative said “Yes you are correct, there isn’t any water in your area”. Why are the local population so apathetic? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingpin Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 If you want water, move to the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, wrong and bloody wrong, we live in a subdivision and all the other around us get water for only four hours a day, sometimes, one of the drawbacks with living in a subdivision. Costs a fortune for tanks, pump and having to redo the job over and over because everyone is an expert until it doesn’t work. Westerners don’t know anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cistern might go 2 or 3 nights without refilling (from city water) without any notice nor explanation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 We have a tank (at ground level) and an electric pump. The water stops working for a while every week or two. Thankfully the electricity is more reliable than that, 'brown outs' only happen every month or two (including today for 8 hours so I went to the mall in the city for the day).

If you don't count Odette, there hasn't been a water problem in over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is, which utility company supplies your water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
