It's been three days now and the whole of Dar Es salaam is without water. A main pump on the river where Dar gets it's water from had a major mechanical failure. It's been interesting. We've been without water before. In that case you go to the emergency tanks downstairs and fill your bucket. Now there isn't even that water. It's been used or diverted to health care facilities. I've learned how to take a shower with less than 2 quarts of water. The smells are stacking up. We're our of our reserve water to flush the toilets. It's been an adventure. One of the girls on my floor has malaria...the kind with vomiting and such. No flushing here. I miss air freshener and running water.
It should be back on in a few days. Until then the whole city is in need of a shower.
