We don't need no stinkin' water!

I have complained about the brown water in the Delta in the past. Today is a bit different. No water. Most businesses would shut down without water, or perhaps notify the employees at a minimum if the water was to be turned off. Not the government.
The government owns a number of homes scattered throughout the research facility. These houses are maintained by the government and rented to some of the employees. Our electronics technician rents the building on our front lawn. This weekend he was digging a hole and ran into a water line and it broke. The government maintenance folks came out this morning to fix it and at some point terminated the water service to our facility. Of course they did not notify of this. We found out the hard way.

Last week: no power
Two weeks ago: no phones
This week: no water

What next?
