Thank God for grumpy cleaners
The cleaners just got here and found out about the fact there's no water. And they were pretty cheesed that they're supposed to do their job without any water. So they called the Accomodation Office at Mt Helen and went off at them about how it's 'bloody illegal' and a health hazard and stuff. This is much appreciated. They can brush off a few riotous students, but not an angry cleaner.
