Water department came out this morning (I have the van number), the water department employee believes that the whole sewer drain pipe is cracked or collapsed. At the end of March the water department sent out a video crew to survey the damage, but there’s no record of what they found. The water department has been avoiding dealing with this issue for over 5 years. They have records of us calling and complaining for years. A water department supervisor was suppose to come out this afternoon, but no one showed up from the water department. Instead they sent out a crew from road maintenance to patch the sinkhole. I spoke to the crew and the road maintenance supervisor and they said it’s nothing that their department can do and would contact the water department about this issue. Every time I call I ask for a water department supervisor to give me a call, and it never happens.
