the source of all lifeThursday, October 20, 2005Listening to nothing
They say water is the source of life. A person can go days, or weeks without food, light, or even the internet, but we can hardly last a few hours without water. For the second time in the two years I've been in my flat, I've spent an entire week without any running water! The water supply for our building and the building next door comes from tanks on the roof, and the pumps that fill those tanks have broken down, again.
The people who run my building blame the people who run the other building, it took them four days to start giving us bottled water, which I've been using to do the washing up, wash myself, even flush the toilet! They called the fire brigade out last night to fill the tanks, the water seemed to be back on so I quickly put a load in the machine, just as it got wet, the water ran out again.
I've complained to enviornmental health, they haven't got back to me. I've been phoning the building people 10 times a day and most of the time they don't answer, when I do get through to someone they promise me "it'll be fixed this afternoon" and every day it's still not back on.
I spent last night in a hotel, and tonight I think I'm going to have to take my washing home to my mum! And then I'm going to be calling my lawyer.
