Answer 1

Talk to your landlord.

Habitability laws require him to provide you with essential utilities, and that includes water.

Look for tenants rights for your state at the HUD (Housing & Urban Development) web site: http://www.hud.gov/renting/tenantrights....

Good luck.

Answer 2

surely the person who owns your apt is responsible for the problem, get in touch with him or her , or phone the water people and send him the bill.

maybe ask your neighbour what to do everything is different in the usa.

Answer 3

Be a grownup here. Go and get several buckets and CARRY water to flush john and other essentials. I thought about being polite and not answering but the childishness of this post impressed me. You are not going to have rights here. Just call land lord and see if he can help. Get off internet and help yourself.
