We not only lose electricity but when power goes so does our water. When electricity is restored it takes an eternity for our plumber to kick start the pump that provides water for 45 homes.

We lose our water along with electricity also - we have well water. A plumber has to 'kick start a pump that provides water for 45 homes'...? I don't get it. Why is that? Fortunately for us, when power is restored here, so is our water.

The entire system is archaic and must have been built in the 60's. You'd think once electricity kicked in, so would our water but unfortunately it has to be done manually by a plumber who travels by pony express.

He's working on a system where he can kick start it from his telephone. I expect that to happen around the same time the Clintons are behind bars.
