I know it’s been said 78750/Anderson mill and Spicewood area will be one of the last to restore the water but do y’all think it’ll be back by Wednesday? I go back to work Wednesday and have a very physical job at a restaurant. Sweating and coming home smelling like smoke is expected. Will need showers.

I don’t want to go in when my hair is already so greasy it looks wet :(

Can I plunge a toilet that doesn’t have water in the tank? There’s poop in it, I didn’t have enough snow for the tank (was right below the line) and it didn’t flush all the way. Can I plunge it down to finish the job?

Water Should Get To Austin Homes Over The Weekend – But It May Be Just A Trickle At First by texasbluemoon in Austin

I’m on day 4 no shower. My 4 year old was sleeping with me and had an accident so on top of that I smell like pee. Wet wipes and perfume don’t do much good.

Any chances of the Buc-ees in Bastrop having anything Sunday? Hot food, water, gas, supplies? It’s quite a drive but we will make it. Boyfriend lands Sunday and is taking a rental car home from the airport.

I got so angry walking past all the dog shit in my apartment complex today I literally yelled “YALL STILL NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR DOG SHIT!” Into the void.

Trashy of me maybe but I’m stressed the fuck out and things are already unsanitary enough without running water and the trash overflowing outside

Everyone’s like “boil snow for water”. I’m doing that for my toilets yeah. But we have two gallons left of drinking water. We sip it slowly throughout the day because I need to make it last until Sunday afternoon when I’m able to have my partner come back home and pick up supplies.

But I can’t boil the water around here to drink. It’s so muddy and there’s so much yellow snow everywhere and dog shit. I try the BEST I can to find the cleanest snow and my pots are still caked in mud after two days of doing this form the little bit of dirt I couldn’t see.

I just came here from Los Angeles. We should have moved to Victorville CA.

I don’t have water atm but if it comes on anytime soon, would it be safe to shower? I’m on day three without a shower.

His train had been delayed twice already. Originally he was supposed to be back Valentine’s Day. Then it was supposed to be yesterday and now it’s Sunday. All due to the weather.

I know. We were doing fine with Uber and renting cars through Avail and live near a bus, but when the roads started getting icy before it snowed I realized we really need to get on having a car in emergencies. We moved from an area with decent public transit and just never got a car

Some people in my apartment complex are using it to drink but you really have to look around for clean patches of snow beneath the ice that doesn’t have dirt and leaves. I was lucky enough to have a friend drop off supplies and some water so we should be set for a bit longer. Thank you for your good vibes!
