What is the longest you've had to go without running water in your home?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46813points) October 21st, 2011

Camping and things don’t count, because you can plan for that.

The bathtub faucet crapped out Wednesday night, and my husband had to shut off the water. Fortunately I’d already taken my shower on Wednesday but man…two full days now. I feel so grungy, even though I’m relatively clean. We picked up a couple of gallons of water but it really isn’t the same.

I have cabinets that need to be wiped down and just..things. You just never realize how much you take things for granted until they’re gone! Even now I’m still flipping on faucets from habit.

My husband has been working on it all day (Friday) so we should be up and running tonight, but MAN. Yesterday at work I’d flush the toilet twice just to hear it!
