A river runs through the house

As is the case with many houses in Juba, water needs to be trucked in.  Our houses have two separate containers and last about a week.  Upon arriving in Juba, I noticed that the water seemed pretty brown, but shrugged it off as just another fun thing that happens.  As it turns out, the ‘handyman’ around the house who takes care of such things had thought that our “clean” water (from a borehole, aka, a well) was too expensive and instead decided that we would be fine with water from the river.  Complete with anything that happens to be in the river.

I’ve never felt so unclean.
