Set the alarm for 3:12 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:12 p.m.

As you hand over the job of collecting water after service returns, set the alarm for 3:12 pm and tell the next person which containers still need filling. That shared time keeps the changeover clear instead of leaving someone to guess whether the supply has resumed. There is still room before 4:00 pm to check the taps, line up pails, and separate drinking water from water meant for washing.

Your handover depends on the 3:12 pm alert remaining active, so leave this page open in the browser while you wait. Closing the tab or browser cancels the alarm, and letting the phone or computer sleep may mean the water collection starts late. Keep the device awake, with the volume high enough for the person taking over to hear it above running taps, electric fans, or household activity.

By mid-afternoon in the Philippines, heat can build up quickly even indoors. Place the containers near the collection point before you switch duties, but keep the phone away from splashes and direct sun. If air-conditioning is running, do not rely on hearing the alarm from another room; leave the device where the next person is working, or add vibration as a second signal.
