So sad that the water company did not inform the whole city residents that there will be no water today that might last twelve to sixteen hours. I received a txt from them now but the water is gone. What a poor service.

What I do is check their FB page from time to time on service interruptions besides relying on their text message, you are right sometimes it arrives late, happened twice already this week in our place.

I'm horrified that they didn't warn everyone ahead of time! Hope you manage.

Yes, I always have some reserved water here. That is enough to last until next day but still, it will be much better if they informed us ahead of time

Same here in our area. There was a notification but only in the water company's social media sites. I only checked because there was no water coming out of the faucet. Water service interruption is up to tomorrow morning.

Do you believe you will be without water for a long time? This is not a good service.

I hope the water supply will be back to normal soon. The weather is hot and water is quite important. And most of all, today it is much more important to have a good hygiene habit because of the pandemic.

That's sad. Without water one cannot survive. We too face such problem but that's very rare. I agree if they would have informed it in advance then a person might have stored water for his/her need.

That was really irritating. No advise at all. How can you live or do your thing without any water. They should have advise or texted you guys earlier. Inform their consumers in advance for the water interruption. Electric service company and water water company have really poor service here also in the our place.
