Water.... where is it? We have had some water issues here lately. Here at our home we have a cistern for our water supply. It is up to me to keep it filled up so that we have the water we need in the house. Last week we had a toilet that ran for a day while we were gone and it emptied the cistern. We are on the city water system here and the city controls when the water is available to fill the cistern. We waited two days last week for the water to be made available. I checked our cistern on Wednesday and saw that the level again was low so I have been attempting to get it filled. As of this morning, the city has not made water available since Wednesday. We are not quite out, but laundry will definitely have to wait. Hopefully the water will come on at some point today!
