    No water in house
    Somebody please help me... I know that its cold here and there is a possibility that the water can freeze and I am thinking that might be the problem.
    I am a signal mother of a 3yr old, I works full-time at a minuim wage job. I am living in a old house. Other winters I never had a problem and this winter is acutally warmer then last winter.
    I used the Taps the other night to wash my hands and about 4 hours after I went to flush the toilet and nothing... I went and checked all the taps, still nothing. I really can't see the water freezing that fast. And to add to it, the water was steady running on a low pace. I have been doing that for years in the winter, I was told that it was a way to prevent frozen taps.
    I can not go any longer with no water and a 3 year old in the house. I have tried a portable heater up in under the house and barred it off so that the heat will trap in there. That was going from 8:00 yesterday morning till about 11:00 last night. Still nothing...

    I am hoping that somebody out there has any sugestions on what I can do? There is no plumber service in my area seen this is a small town and the economy is failing. I really needs water.

    Please help... somebody

    Are you on a pump or city water? Crawl space under the house? Exposed water pipes? Talk to me. Tom
