Letter to residents at the Masaryk Towers
This is not the announcement you want to see in the lobby of your building. A Boogie reader in the Masaryk Towers informs us that the housing complex on Columbia Street is without running water. Apparently all the buildings are fucked at the moment due to a busted water pump.
The notice given to residents this morning reveals that management is currently repairing the domestic water supply pumps throughout the Masaryks. As a result, there has been no hot or cold water for tenants since 10pm last night. Even worse, no timetable was given for the restoration.
