Water Department praise

Published 11:51 pm Saturday, December 25, 2010

When the sewer across the street from my home becomes stopped up with leaves and other debris, a rain causes all the dirty water coming down the street to cross the street and come up into my driveway, which always leaves a coating of mud there and in the gutters along the front of my home.

Such was the case this Friday morning. Around 9 a.m., I called the Sewer Department and within 15 minutes there was a representative making an inspection. Shortly thereafter a work crew arrived and emptied all the sewers on this corner of leaves and mud. They worked swiftly and efficiently. It was a big job. After this was done, a crew from the Street Cleaning Department arrived and power washed my driveway and the gutters on both sides of the street. This was all accomplished in less than 2 hours.

I wish to commend these departments for their prompt attention to my problem and to thank the work crews for their efforts and especially the young man who first arrived to access the situation. He was most courteous and obviously wanted to be helpful. Thanks to all of you!
