Update on my discussion about running water on my road

That is really sad. I wish you luck trying to do it yourselves. I would sure call raising cane. I would not be nice about it either.

Oh my husband did call and raised some cane because it is not fair that they are doing this to us. Nothing we can really do about it now though except do it ourselves. It will not be easy but we will get it done. Hopefully soon because I am tired of carrying water and heating it up to do everything that needs done around here. Because of that, I don't get as much writing done as I would like. :)

Nope we still don't have it and we won't until we finish it ourselves. They are saying that we were supposed to fill out a low income form to have them finish the whole thing for us. We didn't get a form or we would have filled it out. My husband told them that but they said it is too late now. So he has to dig the whole and hook the line from the meter to the house. He started on it the other day and said it doesn't look too hard. It is just the fact that they did every one else's but not ours and it is not fair. I should have started an update discussion but I have been busy writing for AC and Demand Studios.

No they are putting it off and we don't understand it. Their equipment is still in our driveway. They came back a couple of weeks ago and said they weren't going to finish ours because they said my husband didn't tell them he was on SSI and since he didn't tell them then we weren't on the list to have them finish it all the way for us. People who aren't receiving benefits from the Government are supposed to come up with their own money to rent the equipment to finish digging the hole and connecting the lines to the meter then to the house. My husband seen they were taking their equipment away and went outside and asked why and they told him what I just said. He explained to them that he signed the paper stating he was on SSI and that they are supposed to finish it for us since there is no way we can afford to pay for the equipment needed. So they left their equipment here, told my husband to get a hold of the guy who runs the whole thing and then they would be back. That was over two weeks ago and they haven't been back since. Like I said, the weather has been great this week and they had the perfect opportunity to finish it up but they aren't even trying. Now it's going to get cold again and they will probably make us wait until Spring! Ugh! This sucks! Yeah, see it seems like we get our hopes up, tell everyone the great news and then something happens to stop it from happening and it is like we jinx ourselves! Sorry about your big tax return. That really sucks when you need the money now! I hope you get it soon. I hope things start looking up for both us of really soon. For now on when I am expecting something I am not announcing it or getting my hopes up until it happens! :)

Good grief!!! They need to get on the ball. I think you or hubby should be on the phone to that guy every single day until things get done like they're supposed to. If I were closer to you, I'd go and kick some butts for you, that's for sure. LOL

Yeah, hubby is calling again tomorrow to find out what is going on. I know you would kick some butt for me, thanks! :)

thats ok better safe than sorry

Yep, I feel the same way now so I will not get my hopes up anymore about anything again until it happens. I know we probably sound superstitious but I just feel I jinx myself anymore. :)

We live out in the country where we have been running off of a cistern for our water. The rest of the people on our road have been running off of a well. We have never had any running water from the city on this road until some of the people on this road made up a petition for everyone to sign to force our township to run city water lines on our road. The reason they did this is because there was sulfur found in the wells on this road. Without re-explaining everything here, check out my profile and you will see the discussion about running water on our road. This discussion here is just an update on how they have not finished like they were supposed to and we still have to carry water and heat it up for baths and cleaning. We have been complaining and so far it is not doing any good. My husband calls the water department once a week asking what is going on and they just say they are doing everything they can. Our neighbor up the road told me that there are only three houses left to run the water to and hook it up, theirs, ours and another house. So I don't know what is keeping them but they need to get their butts in gear already.
