Coming home from church this morning I see a construction crew just sitting on their equipment at the entrance to our neighborhood. Then I see the geyser of water pouring out of the ground flooding the street. We make our way around it, get home and turn on a faucet. We get trickle of water then gurgling noises.

Time to tap into our supplies. It's good to be prepared.

Ain’t it great when your efforts get rewarded? Good job! Hope your neighbors aren’t too jealous.

Well I'm envious. This happened to us last week. What little water we had through the faucet was murky with little to no water pressure.

Do you think I could find my Bota water filters?...heck no. After the water main was repaired and we had clean water again, I went out and replaced the filters I had misplaced. I had the Bota bottle, but somehow in my infinite wisdom I misplaced the filters. Still haven't found them.

Preparedness and having Blast living in your neighborhood...

Is that a paradox? Or cause-and-effect? grin

(Blast, was it on a timer or remote?)
