I was told years ago that while good things usually happen as single events, troubles show up in groups. I wish you well...just be glad you aren't like the people down the street; the place is a six unit apartment setup, with underground parking. Their main supply pipe(2 1/2") for the whole complex got hit by a forklift during a remodel, and by the time the city turned off the water, every car was sitting in about two feet of water, and four cars had more water inside them than there was outside. They were without water for two days. I hope that your problems are more easily (and cheaply) repaired than theirs: four families are suing the Owners.
And...I hope you win the Election, you've certainly put enough work into it. Best of luck to you.
