The first sign that something is a miss at Lee Harris's house is the plastic bottles.

Some bottles of water outside. Lots of them.

Dozens of clear one gallon bottles lined up outside the front door.

Nice shirt. I love Arcade Fire.

A fit blonde woman wearing an Arcade Fire t-shirt and a wide scarf holding her hair back comes out to greet me and my

producer Caitlin.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome to our house out in real paradise. You can see that we have the most beautiful views of the mountains.

We're surrounded by trails. It's really a hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikers paradise.

But the problem is, as you can see,

we have a price to pay.

Inside more bottles on the kitchen counter and all over the tile floor, which Lee admits hasn't

been cleaned in a while.

Now you have to promise me to not think untoward of us because we've been literally camping in this house for six months now with no real running water.

We do our best. We can't wash the floors or do things that normal water.

You don't really think about how you use water on an everyday basis when it's just

flowing from taps. She could turn on the Taps and clean water

would come out but at a price Lee can no longer afford because here in Rio Verde foothills in the scrub outside Scottsdale, Arizona,

Lee and her husband Fronk are among hundreds of people scrambling for water

after the city cut them off.

It's mid-June, and for more than six months at this point,

Lee and Franc have been doing everything they can to avoid turning on their taps.
