My owner is a home inspector in San Diego.Sometimes the water is turned off in foreclosures.

We're under a Level 2 Drought Alert.

We're being encouraged to save water.

Water districts are telling us, "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."

When you have to go, you have to go.

If you have to go and you know that it's going to be brown, check the toilet bowl for water first. If there is no water in the toilet bowl, there's a good possibility that water has been shut off. If that's the case, it's probably best to go down the street to the gas station.

I'm not including any pictures. The visual is probably enough as it is.

Thank you for your support.

If it's yellow, let it mellow. Ha Ha Ha I will now (unfortunately) never be able to forget that line.  I'm on your side...check first for water (and tissue!)

Hey, Katejo - I hope you're not laughing too hard.

Hey, Andrea - The first time I heard it, which was actually in a television commercial, I groaned. Unfortunately, I'm still groaning, and as long as Mother and Father Nature inflict droughts upon this world of ours, I will forever groan because, like you, I will remember it even though I don't want to. It' one of those things that sticks with you, like the song that we hate that keeps getting played over and over and over again on the radio, or the television commercial that is so bad that we remember it twenty years later....

Hey, Kathleen - I'm glad your laughing. I can sometimes do without tissue.... Oh, never mind. Enough visuals for the evening -- LOL.

That's a catchy little ditty!  You are always good for a smile, and I agree that it was mighty kind of you NOT to provide an illustration!

Russel, this post makes me very happy that I live in an area of abundant water and I have my own well and I can flush as much as I need to! I am hoping for some rain for your area so that you can be released from the drought!!

LOL! These are so true. But I can't understand why you didn't have any pictures =P  A redneck toilet bowl/planter, sitting in someone's front yard would be funny...although I'm not sure where you'd go to find them...

That is one catchy catchphrase. I sure hope San Antonio Water System doesn't find out about it. We seem to be caught up on our rain now, but the drought conditions could come back next year and they will start with the restrictions again.

Cheers,

Robin

Recently found this same unmentionable at a BPO I was doing.  I had to summit photos with the BPO of "problem" areas.  UGHHHHHH!

It's a good idea also to check water lines before turning water supply back on once it has been shut off for ANY period of time. We are seeing problems ranging from occupant sabotage to pinhole leaks causing mold issues, etc. Also... if you want visuals, I have about 1,000 REO toilet pictures I can show you from our preservation clean out services ;)
