By trial and error I had now found a reasonably good mikvah in Crown Heights.
The ‘Rebbele’ who owned the one I had used for the past few years had moved
to the Borough Park neighborhood. I was told that the mikvah opposite 770 was
now beautiful, clean and spotless and had constant hot water! The one I decided
to patronize was quite good and I paid my subscription for the whole three weeks
in advance. When I went on Friday, about two-thirty, I was the first one to use
it. It was really lovely and clean but… NO WATER!
