In our six months here, we really have had little or no problem with water and our landlords are extremely conscientious about fixing things promptly. The kitchen line is already repaired. But we have learned the wisdom of at least having a couple of gallons of water as an emergency supply. Live and learn... and as Dr. Paul says, hope that if you survive, you get stronger!Kat Sunlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241336391150267232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716087909843648936.post-79675926642764872892011-03-09T12:11:17.387-06:002011-03-09T12:11:17.387-06:00Most Americans I know in Costa Rica have a gravity...Most Americans I know in Costa Rica have a gravity tank. The idea is simple, keep some water in reserve and when it gets cut off you hopefully have enough to never notice the interruption in service. My building has a very large tank, and I did not notice how often the water goes out until I started visiting a neighbor on a regular basis who does not have one.expatcostaricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306593450962190191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716087909843648936.post-47027121537776196602011-03-09T11:44:21.926-06:002011-03-09T11:44:21.926-06:00Kat,
