Making do without Water



 Saturday evening I had a luxurious bath.  Kyle came in to wash his hands and discovered there was no water pressure.  Upon researching the cause he found a swamp in our front yard and water coming out from under the garage.  He quickly turned off the water and we were without water until Tuesday afternoon.  We did save the water in the tub for flushing toilets, and we had our water storage, so the only thing that was really missed were showers.  Kyle also bought paper products so we did not have to do dishes.
When they came to fix the problem it ended up that the pvc pipe in the yard had completely cut in half where it joined the copper pipe going into the house.  It was a muddy fix and Wendy had to put her boots on and get involved, Hyrum followed her example for a short while, but was not as excited about getting dirty.  I was grateful to have water for a bath after their playing in the mud :)

  1. Shanalee had a water pipe problem and was without water for a bit too. We had our water problems last winter and I hope that is the last of them! Didn't you have water in your pool or is it too cool for that now?
