With an icicle hanging from her bathroom faucet, Amanda Nelson Reid has been trying to get Century Hills Apartments in Rocky Hill to give her running water again all weekend.
"This is not the first year something like this happened," she said. "There's many frozen pipes last year. This year now we have frozen pipes and it's not immediately attended to."
There's no heat in her bathroom. The toilet has ice in it too. Other tenants are even more in the cold.
"Can't flush toilets, can't go to the bathroom, there are no rooms in the building to go to the bathroom, so kinda forced to hold it," Steve Corma said.
The woman who answered the phone in the Century Hills office said every contractor is on the job but it's Mother Nature. It's the cold, she said.
One tenant says she spent the holiday weekend in bed trying to get warm.
"You can't walk across the carpets. The bathroom, forget it, frozen solid ," said Gail Peck. "Toothpaste froze."

"I'm just hoping that they get the heat back up and going and the showers," said Jerry Baxter, after three days without a shower.
Baxter bought a portable heater. Others say they'll be moving out as soon as possible.
