This adds THOUSANDS of dollars to a main line replacement. This is happened when our fair city privatized our water services. I never knew this until the day came when we had tree root problems. Tomorrow, work will begin on replacing our main line and I just hope that the problems do not extend beyond the end of my yard. It's $7000 just for that amount. it will more than double if it goes beyond.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674792075008371384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19087872820344470472009-07-02T15:29:33.739-05:002009-07-02T15:29:33.739-05:00It's like living in an Sicilian village.

My hat's off to them as well.<br /><br />Outside of the IURC and OUCC, I'm not sure anyone is minding the store except the fat cats. Every time a goodly amount of money is available, they make sure their folks are in position on the boards that are supposed to provide oversite. They usually seem to merely provide cover for the pillaging.jabberdoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773449819475280421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7260254871914292112009-07-01T19:58:54.605-05:002009-07-01T19:58:54.605-05:00I sent a comment to the IURC about this rate incre...I sent a comment to the IURC about this rate increase, so it is nice to see there was some attempt at a critical review. But they need to keep it up and monitor the city's giveways. Now can we get some critical review of all the other gifts (theft) of the taxpayer's money.Citizen Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083803017411939029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-22915233955893884752009-07-01T14:11:21.943-05:002009-07-01T14:11:21.943-05:00Maybe Veolia belongs at #9 on this list of 'am...Maybe Veolia belongs at #9 on this list of 'amazing holes?'<br /><br />http://www.tom-phillips.info/images.a/8.amazing.holes.htmDowntown Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239811599722585898noreply@blogger.com
