We are on a rural water line. On Thanksgiving evening our water volume dropped significantly. I left a message with the water department. They promptly returned my call on Monday morning. Of course they assured me the problem was on my side of the meter. Interesting, with all my faucets shut off, the meter wasn’t moving. I called a plumber who showed up 12/5. He said the problem was on their side of the meter and charged me $95.00. They replaced the meter, and I still had next to no water. The plumber showed up today , determined next to no water was coming through the meter. He called the water department. They showed up. They weren’t sure where the problem was. My plumber suggested that it might have something to do with the pond that was forming across the township road. My plumber charged me another $130.00. It cost me $ 225.00 to hire a representative the water department would listen to. Even then, they weren’t too eager.
If there is one thing the Wizard of Oz has taught me, it is not to trust school teachers on bicycles.
