BAH vent about city

[LoveTrains]

My city has lead water pipes. They are in the process of replacing them, because they are old, and the lead leaches into the water. 

Because of this, they have temporary above ground pipes for water service. I have had water from these temporary pipes for MONTHS.

Except my pipes froze overnight because its now freaking winter and I have no water. I even left the water running last night, just like they recommended, so that this didn't happen.

I am beyond annoyed. H called the water company and they helpfully forwarded us to the contractor. He said that they have been leaving me messages and knocking on my door to try to get me back onto the city supply. Liar. I have not received ANY notes, and my H works from home half the time. 

They said they are coming over night now but I am doubtful.

Crap I'm sorry. Are they doing this on the East side of town too?

That really sucks. I hope it gets straightened out asap.

[vtdiamond]

Uggh, that really sucks, I hope they fix them fast!

[womet]

Oh no. I'd be pissed that they lied about leaving notes, stopping by during the day. I hope they fix it today.

[noodleoo]

Oh no! Will they pay for any damage to your place? That sucks. I hope they fix it soon!

Yes! I live on the East side.

They finally came over and fixed it by hooking me back up to the city service (underground). H is at home and says that the above ground pipes are all out there still. 

Liars.

How ridiculous. Their management of this project leaves something to be desired.
