The city water is rationing outdoor water usage to odd or even depending on the address of the house. Even number residents get screwed on 29 or 31 day months since the 1st is always an odd day.
Since I have a water well I just put up a sign that says irrigation by private well and the city does not bother me.
A few years back we had a large water main break that serves our area. We lost all water service. The city was working on it right away but it was several hours to dig it up and fix the problem. Toilets were to only real issue. I had several neighbors come down and fill up buckets for flushing. One neighbor three doors down said his wife first noticed the toilet did not refill so she went to the two other toilets in the house and flushed them to see if they would refill. Of course they didn't. He was rather mad at her lack of thinking. We all survived the few hours and the water came back. Not one zombie showed up.
