I live in a developing nation

We have no water in Doherty Hall, or apparently anywhere on campus.

The water main broke. Again. I've lost track of how many water main breaks there have been this semester, but this is at least number 3 or 4. At least this one was on CMU property. The last ones were mains for the city that took out water from a reasonable sized portion of the area.

We're basically waiting for them to either return water supply, or evacuate the building due to the inability to turn on the fire sprinklers in case of fire. We know the second is a possibility because they have evacuated us before.

Sometimes one of my Indian friends describes India to me. Sounds a lot like Pittsburgh.

Yeah, except in India even if the water is running you dont really drink it without the UV filter thingy!
