Water? How to get it working

Every day the water turns off all days. This makes cooking, washing hands, going to the toilet very difficult all day. Over the last few days this problem has gotten so bad that now when the water is on there is not enough pressure for it to reach the tank. My wife and her family don't seam to know what can be done. We have two little babies in the house and one on the way. Currently living off of bottled water. Calling the water board doesn't work and last time it was this bad it took a strike to make things better.

What do you all do? Any ideas? Thinking of finding a way to pump the stuff. Is this what everyone else does?

Yes, we have a water pump kicking in whenever the water pressure is too low.

A big water tank and a good pump. And then you won't know / care when the central water is running.
