Water

Another little glimps of life here in Soroti:
We collected enough rain water last night for a load of laundry but instead we will save it and use it as our drinking water. Beckie just showered and saved her water to flush the toilet. We are on full conserve mode because the city water pump (water is pumped out of the swamp up to the top of Soroti rock and flows from there down in to the city) fell into the swamp. We are speculating that because water levels are really high the ground under the pump house was eroded away and the whole thing fell in. We have heard that the pump can't be found. This will greatly extend the time that it takes it put it back and get it running again. To add insult to injury the high water levels have made the bridge that leads into Soroti potentially dangerous and they are not letting big trucks pass. This includes the petrol trucks and well, pretty much everything comes to Soroti in big trucks. Including a new pump. It is going to be an interesting couple of days! We still have a little city water in our tank but don't know how long it will last. Soon we may be going to the bore hole with everyone else to get out water....
