Another small home down the street has also been vacant since we moved in. There's a plan to build a large duplex on the lot (which included an unpaved driveway beside the house... very rare in this neighbourhood) but they only got around to doing some sewer and water connection work last fall; at least it seemed related to the property.
And I'm not sure if this is a valid complaint or not, but we had no notice that the water would be shut off for this work; it was off for several hours too. I know it's necessary, but especially with people working out of their homes a little notice would have been nice. It's not like this was an emergency situation with a burst watermain. For me, it just meant waiting to fill up a kettle. Had I been in the shower though, about to rinse off soap... ugh.
