Last Sunday...

I noticed that there was something going on in the street.

I guess a water main had broken.

I sighed in relief that it didn't affect my house.

The washer was going and I was doing dishes. Thank Goodness!

I planned on coloring my hair and I sat down to read the box. I was going to try a different brand.
I started to go upstairs to begin when I noticed the dogs water bowl was empty.
So I went to fill it.
No water.

Crap.
Thank God I hadn't put the color on yet!

I would have had no way to rinse it off!
A couple of hours later, the water was back on.
I could still hear them outside working. Drilling and ripping up the concrete.
They worked into the night.

The next morning they were gone but barricades were up. As I stepped out onto my front steps I found a little yellow notice laying there that said they would be turning the water off.
Yesterday.

So the street has been blocked off all week.
No construction going on but at least there is water.
This morning as I left for work there was a little yellow notice looped on the ironwork of the outside of my front door.

It read : "The boil order that was issued on 7/24 has been lifted".
Today is 7/28.
My first thought was,
WHAT BOIL ORDER!?

Apparently they had tested water samples from the water main and it was verified to be safe.....
But WHEN was it safe?

I don't feel so great.........

I need to rinse my mouth out...
