Landlord told me the reason my water was off this morning was because the city can sometimes turn water off without notice, or that old buildings can sometimes here can sometimes have random issues. They assured me that it was not the fault of their maintenance employees who earlier this month shut my water off momentarily all morning, and that this event is unrelated. I was able to see them working on plumbing today so I do not buy that.
I followed up with SPU, and they confirmed there were no outages on my street today and that it was not them. The Renting In Seattle hotline noted that because this wasn’t an emergency and I didn’t receive a 48-hour notice, it could be a landlord code violation.
I’m heavily inclined to believe SPU on this one since my landlord’s story does not make sense to me nor the hotline that I called. I just wish I could have reliable water and notice of any outages so I could better manage my life.
