LOL! "Worst" than 2012/2013? Living on Lynchtop in the 90's, we would have begged to have the water "problems" experienced in 12/13... or now for that matter.
You know that the citizens/government are addressing the issue, which will take time.
C'mon man, everyone who has ever lived on the West End experiences this, so why not simply set up an inexpensive tank water system as Bnewb suggested? No expensive pumps required.
