Often we have power cuts, which can be pretty annoying. Particularity if its hot and you want to use the fan, or if you just put on a load of washing. The other morning I was happy to see that the power was on, many mornings its off for a few hours. However, just as I started the machine our water stopped! Our tap outside still worked but all the taps inside didn't. I had just been about to wash the dishes too! To use the washing machine you need to have both the power and water on at the same time.
But anyway- most people in Cambodia don't have running water or much of a power supply- let alone a washing machine. The students in the dorm next door hand wash so I all their clothes as most people do.
Many areas of PP have power cuts, but I haven't heard of anyone else having water problems. I think our problem has something to do with the water pressure on campus, cos I had really good showers when all the students were away. Also, right now the area near our local market is flooded even though no rain, I guess there must be something wrong with a pipe.
