Water water

I live in a fairly small town. It seems that every other day I get a community call telling me the water will be shut off in different parts of town. I live a little East of the city limits and our water has been off all day. This is the second time in a week.It doesn't seem fair that we are expected to pay for water that is not coming our of our pipes. In my opinion if they would fix things right the first time this wouldn't keep happening. Many of the streets in town are torn up in addition to this problem.
