Water Off in Phase III

Dear Resident(s),

Due to an unforeseen emergency repair needed within your phase, it will be necessary to shut off the water to your phase Friday, April 11, 2008, between the hours of 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. This repair will affect hot and cold water in your apartment home. We will strive to get the water back on as quickly as possible.

Once the water has been turned back on, it is possible that it will take longer than usual for the water to run clear or heat up. Please allow the faucet to run for a few minutes to clear the line of any debris and heat to an acceptable temperature.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the information center at 972.454.5000.

Sincerely,

Waterview Office People

There have been so many stinking "unforseen emergencies" in Phase III over the past couple of month, I'm about ready to scream. I mean, back when it was about once per month, I was satisfied to attribute the inconvenience to the crappiness that is Waterview. But now, it's increased to once a week.

Two weeks ago, the water was going to be off on a Friday. A Friday! And Fridays are my cleaning/laundry/organizing/making-everything-nice-for-the-Sabbath days! Since 10am-6pm is pretty much the whole day, I was forced to fill up vases with surplus water. That way, I could at least wipe off counters & wash a couple of dishes.

So, I have just been notified that the water will be off again - this Friday. Maybe I'll do all the laundry on Thursday night. I won't be sleeping because they're having a "luau" right outside my window until all hours. Poop.
