Set the alarm for 9:25 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 9:25 p.m.

As you finish filling your water containers and prepare to leave the tap area, set the alarm for 9:25 pm so you do not lose track of the last check. Make sure each lid is secure, wipe away any spills, and place the containers where they will be easy to reach during the overnight water interruption. You still have a useful margin before 10:00 pm for putting away the hose and checking that no faucet has been left running.

Because you are walking away after the containers are filled, the screen holding this alarm may be unattended when it needs to sound. Keep the browser active and prevent your phone from sleeping before 9:25 pm. If the page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, the alarm may not alert you to inspect the containers, so use the phone's built-in alarm as a backup if you plan to lock the screen.

Once the night's water is stored, have a small drink while the supply is still available, and keep a covered bottle nearby for later. A light merienda is reasonable this evening if you are hungry, but a heavy meal can wait until the containers, caps, and surrounding floor are settled. At 9:25 pm, clean hands and a clear counter make the final water check easier before you wind down.
