Alrighty, here's the facts:
I can neither confirm nor deny, but supposedly a very angry morally-sided citizen called to get the situation resolved, and the problem is that the main street's water valve apparently exploded or some stuff, meaning the entire city is down. Within the next hour they're going to redirect valves to bring water to my street until the big valve is fixed. It's going to be tight, but I'll be able to have a quick shower, and then I'll just take a piss at the local mall if they're open.
