Our house has water provided by the local cooperative water company, a bit like city water or mains water. It’s piped underground from some mysterious source somewhere. It's something you don't think about much until you don't have it.
One of our goals to be self-sufficient is to have our own water source. Coincidentally, the guys from the seismic company arrived this morning to drill a few test holes to see where we might be able to drill a well and how deep it would have to be. They take away their findings and analyze it before letting us know the results.
Meanwhile, the water company arrived and checked various meters and holes in the ground and decided that it wasn’t their problem. Apparently the problem is between the road and the house - so it’s our problem now. We’ve phoned a plumber.
Looks like the previous owners left us another present.

Update for those of you worried about our water situation: a plumber finally came today, assessed the problem, went away for the part, and came back to install the part. We have water again and everyone can take showers!!
