Water

Recently we had some issues with calcium showing up in our water, like chunks of calcium (so not healthy) so we put in a work order and maintenance came in and drained the hot water heater and scrubbed out the calcium.  Then our kitchen faucet clogged up and the dish washer stopped working so they sent someone in to fix that.  Then the bathroom sinks clogged, that got fixed, and then the bathtubs started losing pressure.  Today I got home to meet the maintenance man who had drained our hot water heater, replaced a heating unit and flushed our pipes.  He left, and then the people from downstairs came up to tell me that they had water gushing into their apartment.  So I cut off the hot water heater, which had water pouring out of it and called our housing people.  Hopefully we'll have hot water (or water in general) back in our apartment tonight, without more water running into the apartment below us.  I have no idea why there is a hole drilled in our floor under the water heater that does not lead to a drain, but it seems to work as a very effective drain.
