Emergency provision also went wrong
With today’s work, DUWO appears to be fulfilling that promise, although it is not going completely smoothly.
Initially, only undrinkable water appears to come from a specially constructed tap.
“We are really disappointed that this has happened, because it is absolutely necessary, especially on a day like today,” says a DUWO spokesperson. “That’s why we arranged bottled water in the morning. The tap provided drinking water again around 1 p.m.”
“Not ideal in this heat”
For residents, the situation means improvising again.
“Fetching water has now become a bit of an outing,” says student Beren Barlage. “It takes you five minutes to get to and from the tap. Not ideal in this heat.”
Work will take some time
The work must be completed by Wednesday evening, but that does not mean the work on the pipes is fully completed.
Many students are resigned to it for the time being, hoping that they will finally have cold water from the tap again this summer.
