EL PASO TEXAS, FUCKING REDNECK TOWN!!!
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:58 am
Well, tonight I have NO running water.
When I got up this morning, everything was fine, and I went out today, but when I came home about 1:30 PM this afternoon, the water was running really slow.
Fortunately, I have a couple of plastic bottles of cold drinking water in my fridge.
But the toilet would not flush, so I took a garbage pail and filled it with water to flush the toilet. It took about a half hour to fill the pail with water because it was running so fucking slow.
But eventually, the water stopped running entirely.
Because of the recent snow we had, and low freezing temperatures there is a busted water main, and the area of town where I live is now without water.
I called the water department, and they have no idea when the water will be restored.
If it takes more than 24 hours there could be a real problem.
In the 9 story apartment building where I live, we have a lot of elderly and disabled people living here.
I asked if it were possible to have a water truck parked in front of our building so the we could fill jugs with water, and the woman I was talking to said it was not possible. She was very rude and refused to answer any further questions.
When I tried to ask her why it's not possible, and why the city could not spare a few water trucks, she hung up on me.
So, I dialed 911 for the police, but there was nothing they could do. I'm going to find out who she is, and I'm going to sue her!
FUCKING REDNECK TOWN!!!
Most cities in the USA would have some water trucks parked in neighborhoods where there is no running water for such emergencies.
OK, what happens when my water buckets get empty, and I have no more water to flush the toilet? What happens when I run out of water to wash my hands after using the bathroom? What happens when I run out of drinking water? What happens if the water is not turned back on within 24 hours? Then what?
Well! As I was typing this, at about 7:30 PM my phone rang, and it was a recorded message from EMERGENCY ALERT. It said that we must allow time for the water system to recover, that water is to be used only for drinking. No washing dishes, no showers, no washing clothes, etc. etc. and the the situation will be re-evaluated again in 24 hours, but in the meantime, I should be tuned in to the local TV News.
So, I will know in another 24 hours if the water will be on again.
This is BULLSHIT! When my bottles of drinking water in the fridge run out, I can't drink BULLSHIT!
Yeah, I suppose that when the water is turned back on again, no flushing toilets and no washing hands after using toilet! Only for drinking, but nothing else until the system fully recovers.
But in the meantime I could die from a disease.
Well, fuck El Paso.
When the water finally comes back on again, even if it's just a slow trickle, I'm going to fill buckets to flush the toilet, and I'm going to wash my hands after using toilet!
OK, I'm not going to wash a bunch of dishes, but I will rinse off a plate after eating of off it, and I can go without a shower for a couple of days since it's winter, and I don't perspire as much as I do during the summer, and I have plenty of clean clothes.
But in the meantime, as long as the water hasn't come on yet, after using the toilet, and not being able to wash my hands, after handling food, and after eating, I shall chug down 2 or 3 shot of Vodka so that I won't get food poisoning and stomach cramps.
I would rather get drunk than get sick from food poisoning!
FUCK YOU EL PASO, YOU DIRTY LOW-LIFE REDNECK TOWN!!!
