Accidental use of water and water company?

politics require a political solution, if enough people get mad then run someone for office on a change the water company position.

heck if even half the customers refused to pay the bills the company would reform itself

Too f****ng funny!!! Irony - look it up.

The correct answer was/is, "No, you don't need a stinking permit to replace a switch and receptacle".

How is your testicle search coming along? Won't your wife assist you? What's his name?

I suggest you start in the near future, retard. It may save you from any more embarrassment.

Yep, when you run out of facts, use derogatory remarks. Class act you are.

Like Jackie Gleason told his son in the movie:

When I get home I going to slap you mamma.

I'll take that as: "No, he won't assist me and I don't have a clue to where my testicles are".

Make sure you pull a permit when you replace a switch or receptacle, dumbski. It may be required, ya know.

Don't be stupid, retard.

Judging by your Jackie Gleason reference, you must be on the other side of ancient.

My mother could simply kick your walker out from underneath you.

And if you persist, she could unplug your oxygen tank.

But don't worry, your colostomy bag is safe.

You would better serve yourself by addressing your 'stupid' problem.

He may want to check his lease. They are not all the same.

When I was an apartment landlord, my lease required notice if a tenant would be absent from the premises for more than 24 hours. It also had a 24 hour pager number for emergencies for the simple reason, I didn't want needed repairs to go unnoticed and unreported.

I had a backlog of tenants waiting to move in. I had the highest rent on the street. I also had a modernization program; replace the stoves this year, dishwashers next year, solar screens, etc. I believe people are more appreciative when getting something new they did not expect.

I also involved the tenants in maintaining the property. Mostly the kids; racking leaves, picking up litter, watering the grass, etc.

Five years after selling the property, I still get invited to Christmas parties and graduations. Some have been there 20 years.

It takes a while to weed out the bad ones; tenants and landlords.

The town clerk, who lives 20 miles away, set the policies. Those who supported her have been voted out. In campaigning, the mayor and one of the councilmen were quite outspoken in their anger, having been victimized.

She works short hours. If the office is closed, you put your payment in the night deposit slot. Once I happened to check my bank balance online on the 24th. I discovered that the check I'd put in the slot on the

12th had not been cashed, which meant my water would have been disconnected the next day. The clerk told me somehow they had not received the check, and I had to pay a 10% penalty.

You avoid the penalty by paying before closing time on the 15th. Once I arrived an hour before closing time. The place was locked and no car was in the lot. I assumed the clerk was home sick. I put my payment in the slot. The clerk charged me the penalty. She said sometimes they locked up early to have a meeting, and in that case anyone who found the door locked had to pay the penalty. As there were no cars present, she was lying about the meeting. She took some time off and billed me for it.

It's unclear how she and her assistant fill their short hours, but she is often there at night with the doors locked. People have warned the council that she is not working but accruing overtime so she can retire early and demand compensation.

The mayor and the council are against her but she continues to rule because she knows how to fill out the forms the federal government demands of a tiny town.

We have a well and a septic system. In the 60s and 70s, council members got rich selling houses on a low clay field. Then came the Reagan Era, when big government said if anyone had drainfield problems, the taxpayers would have to pay for a sewer system.

We and other residents were disconnected from our wells and septic systems so the town could bill us for what we didn't want or need. Some insisted on staying on their wells because the water was safer. They were required to have their wells metered so the town could bill them for sewerage. Then the town billed them for their own water as well as sewerage.

(In the Clinton Era, the EPA reversed itself, saying a good septic system would work in almost any terrain and in a rural community would be much cheaper and better for the environment than a sewer. However, county officials have stuck to the Reagan Doctrine because it makes taxpayers help fly-by-night businesses and those making a killing in real estate.)

In a town with 200 voters, it shouldn't be too hard to get the system changed. Throw the rascals out.
