Water supply disruption
We take so many things for granted at home that we do not appreciate them until they become unavailable One of these is the water supply to our house
Disruptions to the water supply do occur now and then However there was one that was the worst
It began one morning when we got up to prepare for the day ahead All the taps, except one in the bathroom connected to the water tank above the bathroom, were dry So we had to patiently wait our turn to use the only tap with water
We did not feel the pinch until evening when the water tank above the bathroom ran dry My mother had a small tank of water stored in the kitchen, but that was only for cooking purposes
So none of us could have a bath or even wash our hands Whatever little water we had in various little containers was used sparingly We began to be careful not to waste water
That evening a water-tanker from the waterworks arrived to supply us with water We ran out gratefully with our buckets to collect as much water as we could Soon all our buckets were full
At least we could wash ourselves that night
We were very careful when we used the water we collected We could not afford to waste any
The next morning, there was still no water from the taps So again we used the limited water frugally
Finally the water supply was restored at about four in the evening It was wonderful to see rust-coloured water gushing out of the taps It took a while for the water to become clear Anyhow
we were glad that we had normal water supply again
take sth for granted
to believe something to be the truth without even thinking about it
feel the pinch Be affected by hardship
gush To flow forth suddenly in great volume
