For about a week now, residents of the Old West Mobile Home Park say two well houses froze up last week, and they are only about thirty-percent thawed out.

The property's managers have been giving two to four gallons of water a day to each home, but other than that, residents have been on their own.

One group of residents told us they went to a hotel last night to take a shower.

We tried to talk with the management of the park, but no one would comment on the problem.

Residents tell us it could be three to four more weeks before they get the water back.
