no water now brownouts

The city is fixing the water supply so no city water. 

Our water pump is working weakly but last night we had a brownout for 3 hours and it was  so hot I couldn't sleep

The maid was in the ER with the same bronchitis I had last week and she is diabetic and they added another medicine to try to control her sugar.

She is too sick to work

so my room isn't being cleaned. I can do a light dusting etc but she will send her sister to do the wash tomorrow if there is enough water 

It is still hot season so I stay in my air conditioned room with the dogs


update

the maid came in to say she is out of the hospital (She had IV for dehydration)  and to get money to buy her new medicines.

She also said five nearby houses burnt down from using candles. No one hurt but the families are now homeless.

Today they fixed the pump so I could shower, but then I went outside and found water cascading from the third floor. We thought it was a leak in the water storage tank, but apparently someone was watering the plants and after they ran out of water, didn't recognize that they hadn't turned off the water.
