This is just the surface of the problem. We ran out of water. I was watering the new lawn because it hadn't fully established yet and would die in the 100 degree temperatures we've been having (no kidding). Apparently, we can't do any outside watering for two days in a row (the day prior, I gave all my new plants a deep watering). So, I showered at the neighbor's house and filled up a 5-gallon bucket with water from their hose for toilet flushing. The next morning, we have water again. Been trying to get the well inspected to verify the problem but it looks like the well business is a good business to be in - no one has time. We're going to see how this goes before we do anything drastic. The neighbor's, who are on county water, have graciously offerered the use of their spigot to water the new plants (although not a permanent solution) and there is always the option of pumping water from the pond for irrigation. In the end, we may end up tapping into the county water system like all the neighbors.
