We got an email Wednesday informing us all running water in our neighborhood was being shut down for pipe repairs. They also suggested we could use a bucket to dispose of waste. This means I could 1. go to the bathroom in the bucket and throw it out or 2. Fill my bath tub with water prior to the water being shut off and use it to flush the toilet. The moment I read the email I knew I was no longer in Boise.
Wednesday afternoon I was washing dishes before the water was shut down and the pipes under the sink started spraying water everywhere. I checked the pipe and found out it was plastic and was disconnected from another plastic tube. I was able to put them back together, but decided having the water shut off probably wasn't such a bad thing after all.
As far as flushing the toilet, I opted for optiion #2. By Thursday evening we had ran out of bath tub water. Luckily my husband is a problem solver. He used pond water to flush the toilet. It wasn't ideal but a better smelling option than waste sitting around.
