No Water

I don’t even see how that can be legal or to code

I hope they get the plumbing fixed soon at your apartment complex. They really should have let you know they were shutting the water off as soon as they did it. We had to call a plumber a few months ago when the pipes in our kitchen sink sprang a leak. We could hear a steady small-sounding stream under the sink. The plumber came, cut a big hole in the flooring under the sink and replaced the pipes... But didn't fix the hole in the flooring. *sigh* When OACAC came in to evaluate the work needed to weatherize our house, the hole in the floor was one of the things they said they'd fix. They have a list of things they're planning to do this next Spring to help reduce our heating and cooling bills.

We just fixed a broken pipe that leads to our boiler. Until that was fixed we could not water the terrace garden as keeping the connection on would mean water flowing out from the broken pipe. We closed the valve until the pipe was replaced.

That is a real pain. I don't have water in my bathroom sink because it was leaking in our basement. But it is very minor and we will get it fixed eventually. I have had no electricity for 5 days and for me that means no water since we have a well. Its a drag for sure.

Oh dear, I sure hope you'll get the water restored soon.

My outside faucet was leaking and I replaced it on New Year day.

I get clogs in my toilets rather frequently it seems. I really need to get a plumber out here, but of course I don't want to spend the money! It's really not fair your complex makes y'all live with 3rd world problems. Did you ever get the heat issue resolved? Aye Carumba!

Hope the water comes back on soon! Oh geez - first there was a drain clog at my mom's . . . then last week we had a drain clog in our bathroom sink. It was too deep so we had to call in a plumber.

Oh, that's so frustrating. I hope they make getting the broken pipe(s) fixed a priority and get your water turned back on in a reasonable amount of time. A few years back there were a bunch of ongoing problems with the sewer lines in our half of the complex. We were the lucky ones in that scenario, though... our downstairs toilet was just slow to flush, but the unit on the other end next to the street actually had theirs overflow and flood their ground floor multiple times. The (now former) owners had Roto-Rooter out to clean out the line so many times. It always ended up being a temporary fix, because the root cause of the issue was the trees by the street. Once they took the trees out it finally stopped. Of course, they ground the stumps of all the trees down and replaced them with new saplings... and with the fact that the two on our side of the complex seem to be growing much better than the ones on the other side I strongly suspect that we're going to be seeing more issues with roots getting into that connection in the not-so-distant future.

That is wrong. Each place should have a shut off. Hope they get it fixed soon

Wow that certainly is inconvenient especially having to deal with it being turned off without notice as well as not knowing when it will be back on. My son is here doing work upstairs and one of the projects is my daughters bathroom, He's putting down a new floor and had to pull the toilet so our water was off most of the afternoon. It was hard enough dealing without water for a few hours let alone all the time you've been without your water. Hope they can get those broken pipes fixed quickly and get your water back on.

When you have no water, it can really impact on you. I hope it's restored soon.

i hope it is fixed now. someone should have put a notice for this, really. sorry. i don't remember but 3 summers ago, i didn't have a water for a couple of months cause there was some pipe work in my street; really nasty.

I don't know if this applies, but the handle on our toilet broke and nearly needed replacing, but my parents managed to fix it themselves.

I would imagine that not having water violates the health code and they should have put everyone up in another location until a repair could be done. I hope that by now it is repaired, and you are back home safe and sound or at your father's place.

I hope that your water is back on now.

Can you report this to somebody? The health department? The mayor?

My main water supply pipe valve was leaking so I had to get a new one fixed.

That sucks. When my grandparents had an apartment complex, we had to do something and we shut the water off for a few hours and told no one to flush lol, well someone did as the plumber had the pipe open and it was not good.

Definitely frustrating! Having no water for that long and without any clear updates – that is inconvenience! At least you were able to grab some water, but it was crazy that stores already had them low. Hopefully they get it fixed soon! I had leakage issues last year as well as during summer we had water scarcity. I would wake up early just to finish my morning routines and bath so that I can go to office without much hurdles. I used to wake up at 4 in morning to get the things going. It was a tough time last summer and I do have my fear for this summer. Take care!
