1. Water is highly combustible, XemaSab. I thought you knew that. |

4. Fill your bathtub NOW!!!! |
|
Also fill every container in the house! You may lose "potable" water due to the fires. It WOULD NOT BE WRONG to stock up while you can. There isn't a "shortage" now, there will be when the water plant is a shell of a building. I don't know HOW rationing water is going to stop the plant from burning down.

6. I think we're supposed to ration it |
|
'Cause once the plant burns down, there won't be any more going into the water towers. :o

8. So you won't be completely cut off? |
|
I was thinking it was coming directly from the water plant. Yes, everyone should use the minimum then. I am not familiar with municiple water supply, I was thinking "If my well went out I would be screwed" equating your water plant to my well.

12. I think it goes from the plant to the tanks |
|
which are sort of like water towers.
So if the tanks run out, we're in trouble. :P

It's a shame. Everyone will have clean pores but they'll be too dehydrated to care.

Fill containers, BTW. To be safe. And don't forget, barring your having the tankless variety, your hot water heater is basically a tank full of potable H2O.
