No water!!!

There is a road construction going on near our house and because of this, the government stopped supplying water to our neighborhood. Yesterday, water suddenly stopped flowing from the tap so Amma investigated the issue and found out that the government decided to stop the water supply for several days! And this happened without prior notice! These decisions are usually announced in the newspapers prior to the date, but this time, I am sure it was not in the paper because neither Anna nor Arvind nor I saw it and we read newspaper thoroughly every day. Anyway, Amma somehow got private water company to deliver water to our apartment to fill the water tank on the roof, but again just now, the water stopped coming... I was lucky enough to at least wash my face and feet after I came back from office, but Arvind came back just now and there's no water to take shower... We have water from the well coming from one of the taps in the kitchen so we tried filling a bucket with this water, but to my surprise, it's dirty!!! The water is brown! So we tried storing trickling water from the regular tap from the kitchen and guess what... this water is also brown!!! I don't know if the water is brown temporarily because of this 'water shortage' or the water from the tap is always like this... Scary to think too much about this because Amma always uses tap water for cooking... By the way, I never use tap water for cooking or drinking, which was suggested by Arvind. I think his suggestion was a really good one.
