"It's impacting everyone, you know, because everyone's arrangements they gotta be pushed back, because we ain't got no water," said Brandy Brown, a resident. "If you planning on cooking in your house you can't cook!"

Some people who lived there said they were planning to leave so they could take a shower.

Water service was returned by 5 p.m. Thursday.
