Someone (agent, prospective buyer, inspector, etc.) walks through the house turns the water on. Realize that the water is off and forgets to the turn the faucet off. Later they contact the agent to have the water turned on. The agent contacts the water company to turn the water on. The water company comes and turns it on. Water runs all over the place. The water company has no idea what is going on inside the house once the water is turned on. The agent should inspect the house before and after the water is turned on. This happens all the time.
