Water restrictions

So the water finally came back on in the early hours of the morning. We had some spare 10 litre water bottles, so Peter quickly filled them as soon as we knew the water was running. It was not very clean water, but at least we could flush the toilet now.

We were both staring at these big bottles of dirty water ... and suddenly we remembered. When we first moved into this apartment there were a few bottles of slightly dirty water stored in our spare (squat) toilet room. We had kept them for a while, in case they were something important, but eventually emptied them and threw the bottles away.

And this was like deja vue.

As soon as the water was running clear again we filled our bottles with clean water, and stashed them in the spare toilet room.

That was Wednesday. On Saturday we woke up to ... no water again! Ah, but we were so glad we had saved some. They say it's going to be a long hot summer, and we have had an exceptionally dry winter.
