I remember when playing Chinese Whispers was actually fun.

Our block had written notes by elevators changed to reflect POSTPONING to 10th-13th, and wife also caught it from some WeChat source.

New information on no water. Maybe off or on in some places or not, maybe to Nov. 13. Seeking more information from the water company or from you. Is there a list of places that will have water or no water?

Panlong, FengYuan Lu area: 09:00 Friday - Monday 'night'. No specific restoration time. Source = word of mouth, colleague.

We had water for a few minutes! Low pressure but it filled the toilet tank.
Then we had good pressure for a few minutes.
Then the pressure went down again. I filtered about 3 liters of water in one of the water jugs, then it stopped.
Now we have low pressure again, but not enough to filter water.

The water you had for a few minutes was probably a build up of low residual pressure (head of water) over time. Once a couple of people in your block have opened a faucet it disappears.

Is it possible that individual buildings or complexes have stopped water themselves in expectation to the district wide maintenance - which was rescheduled?

I can well imagine that some building managers would not bother to restart water and instead just wait for the postponed maintenance.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

Water has come back on in the north.

And now it's off again.

My wife read the government announcements again.

They have indeed extended the shut down for another 4 days. I have no idea why the water was restored twice yesterday.
