Astana Water to Be Shut Off
This is a Public Service Announcement. Just got this email from the US Embassy:
The Astana city water authority has announced that the water supply for the entire city will be shut off for maintenance from 10pm tonight until 4pm tomorrow (Wednesday, August 4th). The actual outage may be shorter, however it would be prudent to prepare for a whole day without water.
This water outage will not affect the Embassy Compound as there is enough water stored on compound to last for this period of time.
To prepare for this outage at your residence consider:
1. Storing additional drinking water.
2. Fill your bathtub with water for flushing.

Like was it really necessary to inform the reader that the embassy will not be affected or was that just like a ha-ha sucks for you ?
You know, I didn’t notice that bit or I would have left it off. I think this email goes out to Embassy staff as well as normal people. Don’t want people filling up the sinks and bathtubs at work, I guess.
Was looking for some information of water supply in our building, the worst bit is drinking water is running out lol, i think the property management might have given some notice, but they forgot that someone here doesn’t recognise a Russian word..
sorry for that
