Its 10AM to 4PM guaranteed. However the water is subject to be off all working project hours of 8AM - 5PM

Do you want out of your lease?

When you called your city inspections desk what did they tell you ? food for thought, Is instant gratification truly gratification or is it another version of a pacifier? So going back to this > When you called your city inspections desk what did they tell you ?

I emailed code enforcement as someone recommended and am awaiting their reply. What would the city inspection desk do?

I wouldn't mind the option, it at least gives me a bargaining chip as I assume they wont be able to lease out the unit considering it will have no water majority of days. So lost revenue for the complex

What the city inspection desk do is declare the units uninhabitable and make you and everyone else move out. You would get your security deposit back but you might have to move very quickly. I don't think that will happen, but it could.

Then discuss with them this option.

If you find the idea of not having water available 24/7 every day except for the week they will be working on your unit un acceptable and your LL will let you out of your lease with zero penalty to you then that is a solution but I suggest you wait and have a talk with inspections , as far as a email goes to them , personally if it was me id go talk to them in person. ( you want to know if they can require the LL to have something installed to temporarily get water to units while they are replacing the pipes OR if they can require the LL to install valves that can shut off areas one at a time so the longest amount of down time would be when they replace the main lines that run from the meter to feed the individual units ? ) in the time being its time to leave for work. night.
