They called it a hard water area and claimed the reservoirs were clogged with natural limescale. As far as reasons to deny an entire county fresh water in the middle of summer go, this was less flimsy than their attempt the previous year when they tried to blow the pipes. We caught them before they could do too much damage but now they try and turn the blame to us for "ruining a controlled demolition that would, in no way, have affected the reservoir had it gone correctly" which was a bold lie if ever we heard one.
Every year it was the same - three days into summer and the county council would attempt to shut down the water without truthfully explaining why. Council employees were scarcely seem around that time which was odd, given how they - like to bask on the high grounds by the old coal mines. When I was a kid we'd gather up gangs and pretend to throw stones at them just to watch them hiss and scuttle back down into the mines. No harm was ever done, just annoyances.
I do wonder if they try to shut off the water for weird council-beast reasons like they have some sort of connection to the local water or something. Or if they just really hate the rest of us and want us dead so we can stop complicating their oh-so-important town plannings and rearrangements. People are surprisingly good at accidentally messing everything up.
This time they might be right,for once in their cold blooded lives. The cases of petrification have shot up in the past five or so weeks which could indeed be limescale reacting to the inherent empathetic nature of the countyfolk's digestive systems. We tend to mimic what we eat for reasons we don't quite know, but still blame on the council. In this case it's entirely possible we are becoming limescale, slowly petrified by our body's defence mechanism.
