Mystery water trucks

[semperfiona]

I arrived at my street tonight--after an hour's drive on snowy roads--to find it barricaded with a row of traffic cones. "Grrr," quoth I, "How'm I supposed to get home?"

I turned in at the alley and backed into my normal curbside parking place.

Once inside the house, I find flashing yellow lights outside the front door on a white truck helpfully labeled "water", and another, yellow truck parked a few yards further away. No sign of what they're doing, but it's clearly too much muscle for shutting our water off for non-payment (besides which, the water meter's on the other side of the house anyway).

Yesterday there had been a section of the street about halfway down the block to the west that was posted "Emergency No Parking Water Department" but no further information is forthcoming.

If you need watering you can always come here.

If you need alternate warm water source you can come here as well. Besides you have never seen my bathroom, what a wonderful way to experience it.
By the way hate the water department!
