Free Water Available - Too Late Frozen Again!

Some excellent new came in last night. Out neighbour two door away has managed to defrost his water main pipe and has running water again after three days. We were told that we can fill some bottles with the water this morning. This will save us lots of money having to buy water and at least see us through the next two days with the water we planned to store.

This morning, loaded with bottles and buckets, the trip was made. When I got there I was told that the pipes had frozen up again overnight and there was no water coming through again. It is now day four without water and the wait for a thaw continues.
