I am near the corner of 7th and Ave B, there was a sign up saying to prepare for no water from 4am today, they put the sign up at 4am today. Thanks. Luckily our water comes from 6th St, and we had water. Thank gawd for that.

I in the middle of the B-C block on 7th. No water = No shower, no coffee. Ugh.

How are the basements of the nearby buildings? Might be a good idea to check for leaks...
