A reality

We live in a very nice apartment but this morning I woke up with no water pressure in the apartment. We didnt have water all day. There was no notice.

It explains why the bottles water business is quite successful here in Trin. It also explains the large tanks that many homes and businesses have.
Many areas in the country required water to be trucked in. In some connected areas, they only have water pressure on certain days of the week. On those days when there is water, you fill up your tanks and it carries you through the down days.

We have three tanks at the office. WASA is the Water and Sewage Authority. They arent very popular here.
We do have one big water reservoir at the apartment. Its where I had a bath today.

P.S. Our next door neighbor is one of the senior guys at WASA - he doesnt tell that to a lot of people.
