The water company 🙄

My son just bought his first house last Thursday after years of overtime, hard work, and saving. Anyway he didn’t realize the water was shut off the day of closing by the seller. Moved in on Saturday. He has been trying to get the water turned on since Friday. They were closed for the holiday on Friday. Couldn’t reach anyone until Monday when he requested a ticket be put in for service. Called today and was told they don’t have a ticket in and couldn’t escalate the request. Except for one lady this evening , everyone he’s talked to has been rude. It’s just him and his 2 dogs. He works out of town and im a couple hours away. Is it normal to be blown off like this for an essential service? He’s been buying water so I realize this isn’t the worst thing in the world. But wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. I haven’t in all my years and places I’ve lived. Usually it’s cable you wait around for lol.
