How to fix the pipes in Children of Silentown
Grab thehammerin your room then go downstairs and take thecorkfrom the food prep area. Go into the cellar and collecttwo more corksfrom the two crates of bottles on the floor. Go outside and turn the newly fixed tap off, which will reveal three holes that need to be filled.
