This notice was posted on the Kunming Water Authority's official WeChat account. Pardon the quick and dirty translation job:
"Water outages caused by pipe replacements will affect neighborhoods along Xuefu Lu (from Jiaochang Zhong Lu to Huangtupo), the Hongshan area, Jinding area, along Dianmian Dadao, along Puji Lu, the Gaoxin area and the northwest part of Kunming. Water outages may be complete in some areas, while others will see a lowering of pressure."
The scheduled stoppage time is Nov 28 at 10pm until Nov 30 at midnight.

Excellent dumplings for omnivores, vegetarians and carnivores. This is a hole in the wall joint with no frills, but the owners are friendly and the dumplings are just right. Five stars if they get higher quality vinegar.
