We came to the end of our resources and had to order a load of water to fill our tanks on the roof. You can see them putting the hose up over the roof to pump the water into the tanks on the roof.
My laundry was backed up! I cannot stand to let it pile up, but we kept thinking it would only be another day till we got water back and were trying to hold out. 
The third week, a neighboring community turned their line on to run into our community. Here is J. helping to fill buckets of water to reserve from the water coming in. 
One day a neighbor lady let us pump water from her cistern to help us out. The hose she ran across the street had some holes in it, so another neighbor put her basin under it to catch the water running out. Any drip of water is precious!
We were one of the few houses that received water from the neighboring sector. So we ran a hose across the street to fill our neighbors' containers. This house does not have any tanks on the roof and so they have no running water at all. They are purely living out of these containers.
