Hi noisefamily 🙋Hope you're all doing good! It's my schedule to pay the water bill. I'm going to the house of the supplier here. And I will ask for water supply tomorrow too. We are scheduled every Tuesday and Saturday but I still go to them to also remind them coz sometimes there are a lot of people who are asking for the water supply. The owner is my family's friend. They are very kind and generous to us. Never have difficulty in water supply unless the pipes and the lines on near the mountain broke. We have to ask twice a week because we don't have lots of containers and drums to fill in.

So you do NOT have running water to your house? We have running water, but it usually only works for five days to a week before being shut off for a few days. The days without running water are a pain, at least to me. (I am from the USA.) When you have to carry water places, it becomes what I like to call "heavy water", because a substantial volume of it weights an awful lot! In the USA if our municipal water source was unreliable like it is here, we would simply drill a well. Here folks are poor; no one has a well, because no one really owns the land their house is on. (Everyone in our purok seems to be a tenant.)
Yes, we don't have running water in our house. I used to fill containers. Save water for a couple of days. Have to conserve the water. Until the next supply of the week will come. Here the source of water is from the mountain. We live near the mountains here. We don't have faucet like other houses. Some have because they can afford to have water tanks and water motors so that they can have water. Me? I can't afford that now. I lost my job since pandemic came. We just transfer here last year months before the pandemic starts. Coz before we live on the place of my husband where he use to grow. But that place is very far from work. That's why we decided to live here again. Here is where I grew up since primary days. People or the barangay officials here tried to build a well. But failed to have water.😔 So that's the best way to have water here.
"I lost my job since pandemic came. " Stupid Covid!! Life here in the Philippines can be hard sometimes. The best I can do is send a prayer to God that somehow He helps you find an easier way to get water for your family.
Yes, thank you. We have water now and I'm currently doing the laundry now. I'm also here from the Philippines. It's great to know that you're here too. Hope that everything will come back to normal and this covid will be gone
Yeah, me too! That stupid covid can go back to the bats is supposedly came from, and stay there! Anyway, have a great day, and I hope your future is filled with prosperity!
Thank you, wishing you a great day too!🥰 And may God bless you more. Stay healthy 😊
