What a waste of water

Philippines

We were told that there's going to be a utility maintenance today for almost 8 hours. That means no water from morning until late afternoon. But it turns out, we misread the schedule and it's actually from evening to morning. Well, some of these buckets will be useful tonight. Have a nice day

Had weak pressure as well in our area the past couple of days. There was no water in the whole household so we had to get extra containers in the bathroom and kitchen. Good thing everything is back to normal already.

Not a waste if you will ultimately still use the water for something.

@Letranknight2015 You said it right. I ordered water to refill the drums and a tank here a week ago.

Yes, you can keep them stored and use it later. Water is precious and we need to respect it and use it judiciously.

There's always a use for them, so they're not totally wasted.

Here in Mindanao Island down south (in the Philippines) rain is falling heavily today. No lack of water, obviously.

It is just annoying to have those utility interruptions. It can disrupt many things that you plan to do in your place. I guess you will need to fill those buckets once again so that you can have at least some water for your consumption.

If you live in a village that kind of thing happens too where you get stuck with no water until they finish the maintenance stuff. I kept buckets of water a lot sometimes they never bothered telling us at all.

Cutting off the water at night is better than that by day.

Hahaha... 8 hour is too much . Water is essential and one cannot live without. You may use it or may donate if to others if you cannot use it.

It is still useful until the actual water service interruption.
