Yes, that is correct. Zero municipal water. A lot of volunteers from D session have left early.
The village is claiming that the entire issue is due to pipe leaks. However there is no water being produced at the treatment plant.
The village officials say Thursday at the earliest. Potentially weeks!!??????? I don't think these village officials understand the implications. No water means not habitable after a few days. Unfortunately digging holes for outhouses like their compadres did years ago isn't feasible or legal. Drinking water is available. Sanitation, no.
I have a well at my home and turned it back on.
