No water today

I got up this morning, turned on the faucet, and….nothing. We called our driver (who lived in the rooms on the rooftop, where the water tank is.) He was able to get the water going by tapping on the pipes….fortunately, the tank itself was not empty. But he has pointed out that the government water supply which flows to the tanks in the morning is diminished, now in the “hot season.” He said that government/civil service workers (some 30% of the country) make sure to divert the (dwindling) supply to their own tanks, and so the rest of us need to manage with what remains.
