This is absurd - why 24 Hrs water cut, it will totally effect the week-end mood. Something is wrong somewhere. Over to the Minister who is charge of Water Board.

In the past, this happened. The maintenance work could be done during the night night hours like in other countries, instead of having 24 hours water cut.
