Floradude Posted November 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I give up. My original mail came from WhatsApp and I have played with so much in sending notices locally that it is now a mess. Here is my translation for the important part. Next Tuesday, November 22 to Friday, November 25, SIMAPA will carry out maintenance work on the water infrastructure. For this reason there will be suspension of service in the streets: Emiliano Zapata, Encarnacion Rosas, Felipe Angeles, Lazaro Cardenes, Juarez, Angel Flores, Felipe Angles, Revolucion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stream Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Time to buy an inflatable baby swimming pool and have buckets to flush toilets Maybe apartments or neighbors can use one pool for their buckets. That's a long time without water pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stream Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 This one looks good for 3 days of a few houses without water and hot days $1,200. Don't let the workmen that are sweating dive in Costco or other places should have something like it. Maybe the army will park a water tank or two for everyone. https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-837528474-jardin-inflable-de-la-piscina-del-pvc-de-los-300-76cm-_JM?searchVariation=67808058982#searchVariation=67808058982&position=4&search_layout=grid&type=item&tracking_id=8cc925a1-7f69-41fd-b785-83bc2401b509 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long time without water pressure. Other options: 1 - be sure the house aljibe (if it has one) is topped up 2 - put a small tinaco on the roof and tie it into the house piping, a lot of homes do this as a backup to their pressure system "just in case". Gravity fed water is a lot nicer than moving it by the bucket. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Tinaco's are also life savers when the electricity is out. Gravity rocks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the lid on it to keep from breeding mosquitos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 We don't have any bathtubs. However, as we are frequently without electricity, we keep 4, 5L bottles full of water to use in the bano, and, a lot of smaller bottles for making coffee and using in the cocina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted November 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 So, while we were conserving water to the extreme this past week SIMAPA was doing nothing. My aljibe was full this AM. Now, they want us to repeat extreme conserving for another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 lets not panick.. there are aljibes and tinacos and pools and friends and neighbors and water bottles. with a little planning it is not the end of the world. In another part of Mexico we can go a month or two without water. The water from the truck is contaminated, the little water there is go the center for the tourist and people living on a hill like I do do not get water. We get water delivery at night 2days sometimes 3 days a week the pression is so low that is does not go up in tinaco.. This is the real Mexico or another face of Mexico. Do not complain get buckets and bottle water and sit tight , this too will pass.. In San Cristobal de las Caas to add salt to the wound the cocacola plant is hoaerding water and using a huge amount..

Mainecoons Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 No water on 16 de Septiembre out by La Floresta even though we aren't on the list. Checked to make sure our line wasn't plugged with silt as it has been twice in the previous 2 weeks. Nope, there's just no water in the line. Masterful timing again, like blocking off accrss to the east side of Chapala during the Feria, and now no water in much of Ajijic just as the Fiesta de San Andreas kicks into high gear.
