Haiti water

I know how nice it is to walk over to a faucet, turn it on and have a nice flow of pressurized, clean water to wash your hands in or get up cup of water to drink. So the difference in how it works in Haiti is like you are on another planet.
The city water if you are fortunate enough to have it is only on every other day... or so.
So here's what you do, the water starts trickling into your cistern and you turn on your pump, To pump the water up to the roof to your other cistern or plastic water tanks.
When you turn on your faucets the water feds down to whatever fixture your using with the help of gravity.
Now the water you get from the city is not drinkable, we bathe in it, wash clothes in it but do not drink it.
The problem we've been having is running out of water. I've done my part as a team player, I've committed to not bathe for up to 4 or 5 days at a time. This has caused Jennifer an increased level of stress, I'm sure of this because she will all of a sudden look at me and say " oh I thought you were in the shower" or "honey whats that smell", shes so cute.
We have around 14 people that live here not to mention the ocassional visitor, and most of them are teenagers, so the water can't keep up.
So when we run out of water, we call the water truck! Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?
The water truck goes to the water plant and gets a truck full of clean refreshing water. Oh the water plant is the river that drains into the bay, and the water itself, just up stream from your truck is, people bathing, washing clothes and things that I won't mention now, use your imagination. And thats what they bring to your house. We love clorine.
Another problem associated with running out of water is the ONE FLUSH. The problem with the one flush is deciding when is the opportune moment to intiatiate the ONE flush. An early flush can be just as dangerous as the late flush. If your ever in this situation I can't tell you when the opportune moment is, everyone must decide that for themselves.
I was going to write some more but Jennifer just walked past me and said "honey what's that smell?". Think it's time for a bath,,,
