Tenants were first alerted to the broken pipe Friday after managers posted a pink flyer on doors reading, in part, Please be advised that the main water line is broken and is under repair. Portable toilets and wash basins were brought in Monday, providing a small amount of relief to residents, especially those who hadn't figured out the pool water trick.
