Coming back from running some errands this afternoon I heard a swishing sound in the front yard. I walked over to the water main, removed the cement cover and sure enough, saw a leak - water spraying everywhere. Crap. Friday afternoon, grandkids flying in this weekend. It could not be worse timing.
I called the water utility at 2:05 to report the leak. At 2:48 the utility repair crew rang the front door bell to let me know they had arrived and were shutting off the water. They replaced a valve, a handle, washers. At 3:07 they drove off, water main fixed.
We love to complain, but sometimes we are well served by our public services.
