Annoyed Thoughts

There has been a small water leak in front of my neighbors house for months. It looked to be an issue with the city rather than on their property. I figured they’d deal with it. I got tired of waiting for them to do something in January, when the water running down the street was making a nice sized ice patch in the street at the end of my driveway. I opened a ticket with the city myself to request leak repair.

I didn’t see anything happening for months. On 3/25 I was heading out of town and I saw a city guy doing some digging there. Yay! However, the leak is still going.

I contacted the city again. They told me “Leak Repair initiated on 1/30/24 was completed on 2/19/24.” And the case is closed. That’s 2 WTF: they didn’t fix it, and they must be backdating repair work to make it look like they did things in a timely fashion.

Now I start the whole thing over again I guess.
