water water everywhere...
The water issue seems to finally be improving in Yerevan. Although I have heard of very few cases (1 to be exact) of anyone's water going to 24hrs a day, it does seem that the number of hours the city water comes is getting vastly better in places. I am probably getting about 4 hours more water during the day than I used to, and sometimes more. Quite nice I must say...

Hey Raff... you're right! I get water from 7am-2pm, and 7pm-12am. That's a lot! Of course the fact that I'm never home, or awake to use it is a different issue! hahaha :)
I used to have water 18 hours/day (6pm-12pm), then it became more sporadic for a few months (I assume they were fixing the pipes.)
Ya, it does seem better now, but same as what I used to have before. :-)
I'm just thankful it's the water and not inconsistent electricity like in Georgia.
Hovakim, thank a nuclear reactor sitting on a few earthquake fault lines. ;-)
Will do Onnik.
When we were in Armenia, we rented a place on Gomidas near the shooga and the water was 24/7. I asked if they had a water tank when we went to rent it and they said no, but said the water was on for 24 hours.
I generally have water 24/7, it rarely happens that the water is cut off for a few hours. Come to think of it, I cannot think of any friends in Yerevan that still keep a bathtub supply of water (or use any other way of stocking up on water) like they used to before.
I remember a few years ago, in winter there would be water pretty much 24/7 and then in summer there would be water only for a few hours a day. Is there still a difference between winter and summer "rationing" in those areas of the city where there is no running water all the time?
My water pressure in the summer is not as strong. :-/
When I rented a place on Khanjian street in March, we had such a random supply of water. Usually 7-10am ( I'd still be asleep) and 7-10pm. Stupidly, there was a tank for hot water, but not a tank for cold.. which meant that we could take as many hot showers as we wanted...but not use the toilet all day. That really used to annoy me.
I tried to train myself to wake up in time, but every morning i'd be disheartened to see the clock had passed 10am:( It's all part of the experience..
