Tanked Up!

Hey the water guys came through for me today so it’s laundry night tonight. I started calling them last Thursday when the reservoir in my house began to get low but with them being short a vehicle (the tank fell off one truck) it took them until today to get around to me. No town water systems up in these places and everything has to be delivered and later pumped out by truck except in some locations like Iqaluit that use a combination of underground and utilidor systems. It’s just like the gas tank on your vehicle in the winter though… don’t let it get too low because in the case of water at least you can never be sure when the next delivery might be. If something serious breaks it could be days or even weeks before repairs can be made and things get back on schedule again.
