Effect:
Loss of hot and cold domestic water. This means that no bathrooms,
showers, kitchens and drinking fountains will be operational during
this shutdown.

Suggestion:

Fill bathtub with water for duration of shutdown.   Use this water to flush 
your toilet. Fill a bucket from the tub and dump it into the toilet 
bowl.   This will force the toilet to flush.

Warning:
To avoid flooding, please be sure all faucets are off and stay off for the 
duration of the shutdown.  If you try a faucet and find the water is still 
off, turn the faucet back off.

Thank you for your patience
