Hey folks,
I noticed on a walk around my neighborhood yesterday that some homes and
businesses are missing their water meters. At least one home in the 1200
block of Brookside was missing its meter yesterday afternoon, the one at
the vacant daycare at 808 Edmund Street is missing, and six are missing
from the vacant Shoppes at Brookside at 1000 Brookside Drive.
With the exception of the Shoppes meters, it appears these meters were
removed in haste. All covers were left open and wires were ripped out in
two cases. For this reason I believe this wasn't approved work (the city
attorney tends to frown on situations that might create broken ankles).
If you see anyone working around water meters, especially around vacant
businesses, please call the Public Utilities department at 829-1930 and
ask if it is a legitimate service call.
