Sounds like the water is trying to come back on. Let’s hope this time they manage to put some clean water in the pipes.

Ah, no such luck. At least, not yet. Maybe it’ll take some time for the dirty water to be drained out of the system. And maybe we’ll be safely moved in to BeiGongDa when the tap water here flows cleanly. Make that ‘probably we’ll be safely moved in….’. Actually, I just turned on the kitchen tap, let the air bubbles and the usual dirt work their way out, waited a minute, then filled a glass, and the water was even rustier-looking than before. Has some kindly local official decided that everybody around here is so desperately anaemic that we need iron-fortified water?
