Well, if I don't do it to protect my investment, nobody will so I have no choice. I feel bad for the little old lady that knows nothing of how to drain off her tanks the town should notify us and that point will be brought up by me you can be sure.

If my neighbor did not call me to warn me not to run hot water, I would have steam coming out my ears.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Arrow ok ...now.... relax

think about a time when you were at your favorite spot
the fishing was excellent
the sunset was intensely beautiful
a warm breeze was blowing
and you had never felt happier.

thats all you can remember .... focus on that moment

otherwise the stress alone will kill ya....

ok ..... think of that moment now
control your breathing.....
slow your heart and mind

and relax....

Write a letter to document the water you had to 'waste' in order to flush your line. Keep a copy. Use it to get an adjustment on your water and sewer bill.... use your digital camera for documentation too.
Go make some sawdust. Get back in the game and we'll rag on you tomorrow!
Back to the shop..........then to go collect some accounts receivable so I can spend it at the show!

Unhappy

If you had a private well that produced water with sediment, turbidity they call it, the local authorities would condemn it. Yet they get away with screwing up a public water supply. WTF! And you're right abot the little old ladies who have no idea how to clear their systems. It just isn't right.

Slip next time go down to the crew, and ask them to remove your water meter, and hook a line onto it. Why should you even have to pay for all the water you need to run to get the sediment out.

Any time a main breaks you will experience some turbidity in your water.Personally I don't think it's any towns responsibility to replace water tanks.Main breaks are never planned but if many occur in your section I would assume it's an older section of town.After the main is repaired it is a standard practice to flush dirty pipes until they flow only sparkling water.Sometimes the discoloration in well water is merely nutrients from the subsurface leaching into the well,unappealing but harmless.I never mind missing sleep to fish but it sucks when you miss it for a break.
