Eight Days without Water!

 

From a West Lauderdale Water Board customer:

We’ve been out since last Thursday morning. Along with what the water dept says is roughly 500 customers. They seem to be down playing it though supposedly due to “low tank levels”. They’re blaming customers having leaks at their homes they aren’t repairing but who would do that? Everyone seems to be coming to the conclusion they have leaks on the main lines and either can’t fix them or can’t find them.

I’ve been told by workers the system is very outdated. Hasn’t been serviced since it serviced 3000 customers 20 years ago and now serves over 6000

The last update is they hope to have water restored Friday. That’ll be 8 days.

This is totally unacceptable. Does this type of ineptitude fall under the state's public service commission domain? What if all are not restored by tomorrow.

Help! Who has an answer for these customers who are receiving such shoddy service?
