Where'd the water go?

 

Not low tide.  And, we know where the water went: the water district is doing some work on the main water line on our island.  We were told the water would be out starting at 8:30 a.m. ... then, they upped it to 8:00... with the expectation of water being out until 4:30 or so.

We put some extra water in each of the bathrooms, following the Boy Scout motto: be prepared.  We were both up early and showed.  Breakfast early, dishes washed.

As it turns out, we had water still an hour after they said it would be out; but, it did go out.

Truth be told, it isn't unusual for the water to be shut off for repairs here - just depends on where the work is being done.  Sometimes we get advance notice (like with today's shut off), and other times it happens without notice.  There is an e-mail and text blast that goes out from the village office.  Sometimes.

Life on the edge of the country.
