Good luck I hope your service is restored quickly

Problem solved. Man, that multi-billion dollar education budget is being wasted on the great unwashed proletariat. "Jeeves, get Elon on the phone. I've got another idea to pay for my tax cut."

I hope things are resolved very soon. You take care!

I'm very sorry this has happened to you and others in NJ.

Having lived through a couple of times without water or sewer following hurricanes you have my full sympathy. You at least have the possibility of finding a motel room depending on the duration. And yes, running water and sewer are essential for our civilization. And yes, I’ve lived with outhouses. They have to be moved every now and then. New holes dug, old ones filled up.

You have one.

It is right outside of your door.

It is called 'nature'.

(Nothing, outside (no pun intended) of being out of the sacred bean juice, is going to stop me from saving the world every morning.)

it makes you poop.

It was a long process to get a new septic, with engineers, permits, scheduling the contractor, not to mention putting together the funds for the 40 grand cost.

Then there was Hurricane Sandy. I have a well. No power, no water. I think that was 8 days.

There were lots of trips to coffee shops and convenience stores to find a bathroom. I was pretty badly injured too, after Hurricane Sandy.

I really feel for you. The good news is that eventually it ends.

I have worked selling products into the municipal market for the last 16 years. I have seen municipalities that have bragged about not raising fees for multiple years. When they get hit with a problem they have no money to fix the problem. They put bandaids on problems which is kicking the can down the road.

..like the water fountain in business offices. We recycle the water every 3 weeks.
It's really helped few times when the city water workers are fixing mains and such..

We were without water a few times, and it was a challenge that I hate thinking about. The longest time was when we lived in the country. Luckily we had an old, but usable outhouse. We went to town to my parents'-in-law for showers and drinking water.

During a water shutoff where we live now, we got warning. I filled the bathtub just to have water for flushing. We had a cat who hated water, but he loved jumping in the tub if the bathroom door was open. I was in the bathroom and the kitty zoomed in. Before I could stop him, he jumped full force into the tub and leaped right out. He never jumped in the tub again

Last comment: If you have a dehumidifier, you can use the water it collects for flushing, plants, anything except drinking.

But I hope you have good news today

Hope it’s resolved soon.

Paper plates, plastic utensils, live at the library, etc.

But seriously, that sucks.

I hope this gets fixed ASAP.

i remember living through the 1976 drought in southern ca wateringg on odd /even days . no showers . no baths , ust spounge baths . no washing of cars or hoseing down of driveways , etc. no refilling swiming pools and had to ask for water in restraunts , but the rich so and so''s would bring in tanker trucks full of water from else where and u should have heard the brew ha ha on that one .

They all have a release valve, so you can access that for your needs.

Also, make sure you turn it off.

1. Inaccessible in my neighbor's basement.

2. Landlord would have to do it and he can't come.

Good luck
