Water Day?

So, I've had school canceled for snow before.  I've gotten days off for ice on the roads.  I've had days canceled for what they thought was snow but turned out to be nothing, not even rain.  In 2005, school across Georgia was canceled because of a gasoline shortage stemming partly from Hurricane Katrina but mostly from people panicking.  Today, however, was a new one.  School was canceled because the town's water supply wasn't working.  So the cafeteria couldn't cook lunch, and the bathrooms wouldn't work, and so on.  No one told me, so I went to school at 11, ready to start my lesson, walking through weather colder than anything in Georgia, weather that would cause any county south of the Mason-Dixon line to cancel school, church, and even football.  Not to mention that the entire walk to school is snow packed so hard it's almost ice.
I woke up at 9, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and there was no water.  Great, I thought, I haven't taken a shower in a few days and now I can't.  Maybe it'll switch back on in a few minutes.  After all, the same thing happened yesterday around the same time when I tried to shave, and the water came back on about 20 minutes.  I waited around, but the water never came back on, so I ate cereal out of my only clean bowl, brushed my teeth with bottled water, and decided that my hair didn't look greasy at all, at least definitely not by European standards.  I got to school, and I greeted the lady at the front and the security guards as usual ("Zdrasvuyitye").  I went up to my classroom, and only when I was about to enter did I notice, Hey, there's no students in the hallways, am I late?  Nope...well, that's odd.  I got into the classroom, and Natasha, one of the teachers I work with, was sitting at her desk with the students' chairs all stacked neatly atop their desks.  No school because of the water, but teachers still have to come in.  Which doesn't really mean me, since the school doesn't pay me.  The U.S. government and money raised by the students' parents do.  If you can call what I get "getting paid." 
Anyway, the water seems to be working now.  I'll teach tomorrow.  Another interesting day in Ukraine...
