Worst of Luck

        It seems like my family and I have the worst of luck sometimes, especially right now. So last Friday my mom and I were driving back from my doctors appointment when she gets a call from her dad saying that the city is digging up the middle of our road. Without any notice the city starts to dig up where the water line connects to our house and turns off our water. The city said there was an emergency which is not even true, the only reason they came was because our neighbor across the street called them earlier and said there were water puddles in the road. Back to the situation that happened Friday, we had to call a plumber to fix the line that led the water to our house because the city said it was our responsibility to get it fixed. After about 4 or more hours of finding the right parts, cutting pipes, and fixing the supposed leak we got our water back Friday before dinner. The line leading into the house across the street wasn't going to be fixed until Monday morning because the owner needed to be here to pay the plumber. The bad luck comes next if you weren't sure. When the plumber and city came back to fix the other line and fill the hole they found more problems. There is something wrong with the line again which is probably a mile long. I honestly don't know if the whole line has to be dug up and replaced but if it does I don't know how long my family would be without water. There is also a big issue with how much this would cost if we had to pay to get the whole line fixed, let alone the time it would take. I don't know the whole situation but if it's as bad as I think it is then my family should probably get a well and be on well water that is directly linked to our house.
