Water Supply

Sometimes I really dispair at our water supply.

We're lucky to have a drinking water filter fitted in the kitchen. Qum water is salty and so you have to fit a filter, or fill up from the nearest 'sweet' water tap and then drag the cannister back home. Our filter can store 12litres at a time and takes about an hour to fill up from empty. Its quite funny trying to 'squeeze' water out of the filter. It dribbles out and reminds me of old man's pee. LOL

We're currently supplying our neighbour with 'sweet' water. Just have to remember to change the filters every now and again!

The worst thing about living on the top floor is that our regular water supply is rubbish. We're the last priority for water. So even if we're having a shower or washing dishes and someone downstairs turns on the tap, our water stops. Imagine being in the shower with shampoo in your hair, only for the dude downstairs to start washing dishes... it sucks. Not only that, but once the water comes back online, this nasty yellow stuff comes out first before the regular water. Perhaps I'm writing this in the hope that the landlady reads my blog and does something about it?!

Yesterday, the neighbour comes up to ask for water, which is cool. His cannister is 12 litres so it pretty much cleans us out of water for an hour. I filled up his cannister and even though I needed to cook, waited for a bit for the tank to fill up. (we use 'sweet' water for cooking) While I was waiting, decided to wash dishes with the Qum salty water and guess what - the dude downstairs starts using the water. So not only did he clean us out of 'sweet' water, but then cut off the other water too.

Only one more month to go. Only one more month to go.
