I've been living here since early October and they've shut the water off all day on average of twice a month. That means no toilet flushing, no shower, no dishes, no laundry, no drinking, and limited food. I'm taking the role of housewife for my fiance and I can hardly make anything for lunch or dinner without water.
Not to mention I can't get much of my other chores done. On top of that we've been having a problem with the electricity and fire alarm. The first time it happened was in the middle of december where it's extremely cold so no heat is a problem. The power was shut off for half a day so I was absolutely freezing and there was no way to cook anything. At least we had water :x Oh yeah, and all other buildings around us had power 
The next night at 2 am the fire alarm went off and being on the top floor and sound asleep it's not a pleasant sound. Fortunately, just before we started down the stairs, the building manager went on the PA and announced there wasn't any fire and it was a false alarm. Now, this morning it happened again so I'm up bright and early and unable to get back to sleep... and of course there's no water leading me to bitch and moan.
Otherwise, it's a great apartment. On clear days you have a view of the tower and there's a pool and exercize room, but this is starting to drive me a little crazy. I can understand fixing the pipes and all, but this is excessive when we normally don't have any water problems
