no more free water!

after over 13 months... the water company switched out our broken meter - we'll have to start paying for water again.
in that time, the water company instituted rationing and allotted us an unfair, low amount of water. then they upped it a little when i sent a request for more water, but not to the accurately calculated amount. anyway.
over the last year i have talked to the water company about our broken meter and was basically told it would be fixed when they got to it.
last month, the rationing was changed to "voluntary". and this month we got a new water meter.
the Lord provided more than i asked for or imagined when i was trying to figure out how not to pay a crazy premium for our water! praise God for our broken and now fixed water meter.

as a side note, the guy changing the water meter told me a story of another customer in big bear had also had a broken water meter for a year. when i came inside to tell scott, he said that the other customer was our friend tony! (who recently sent us our dear new housemate!) how funny!
as another side note, he said i was the first customer to ask to take a photo of my old water meter before it left. :)
