Since yesterday, we had dirty water coming our from our house taps. We checked the water storage tank and discovered that the whole tank is filled with brownish water. Normally we can see straight to the bottom of the water storage tank but not today.
In Palembang, most of the houses in the housing areas have a water storage tank. I believe we could store 1,000 m3 of water in the tank. It is located underground in our garden. The walls of the tank is laid with ceramics. We used to clean the tank once every 6 months. It takes 2 guys 6 hours to empty the whole tank, scrub the tiles/creamics and get rid of all the sediments inside the tank.
Looking at the situation whereby the affected houses are only our immediate neighbours, we concluded that it was due to burst pipes from the water department. We have lodged a report but still have not heard back from them yet.
Plans: tomorrow we are getting our driver and one of his friends to clean the water storage tank and fill it with clean water (from water storage trucks). As for later this evening, we might go for a swim in the Novotel swimming pool and take a shower there.
Last year we used to have water supply problems at our housing area until we need to order in fresh water from water storage trucks. Hopefully the suspected burst pipe problem does not last long.

We used to have water problems while we were staying at Bukit Besar. And we used to order water that gets delivered by water trucks rather often. There have been instances where I did not go to work because I did not have water to bathe! :)
ps. Sometimes when the water level is low, the water that comes out of the taps looks like diluted milk ... don't wanna guess what it contains ...
