I have a neighbor who lives on a golf course who uses a golf ball, some fishing line, and rubber snakes. He puts this contraption in his yard. I think you get the picture. So beware when you pickup the golf ball......

No outrage, no ruffled feathers here either. Sounds like another paranoid approach to forecast the sky is falling.

He's the prankster in the area. At Christmas time do you remember the lighted Rain Deer with the moving heads? Well one night he and a buddy went out and set them up so the Rain Deer were making more Rain Deer. I think you get that picture..... Needless to say the home owner was not impressed. I told him he should put a camera up looking at the golf balls with the attached snakes......

if this procedure has been changed as the OP seems to indicate, time to let it go. If it hasn’t been, let it go anyway. Life is short. :blahblahblah:

Sorry that you feel that way my friend but you are missing the Point.
Have a nice day!

I live in N, LaBelle very close to Atlas Dog Park. I take my Lab over for walks and a romp in the park often. At times we walk around the outside of the fence area so my dog can sniff a bit in the bushes. About one year ago I noticed a large wet area just along the fence line behind some new homes. I thought it was just a drainage issue. Around a month ago I was walking with my dog there at the spot and noticed water coming up from the ground through what appeared to be a sprinkler head. I called TV and reported it. Now the area is dry. My point is that the leak had been there for a year or more and water was being wasted when TV is in charge of the park and cuts the grass in that area. Someone should have noticed this and repaired long before I made notice. This wasted water was there while we were paying a 10% additional charge last summer.

I agree!!
I believe the CH2M is only motivated if there meters are dead or they think they are, if there is a leak or high usage you will get a warning letter for using to much water, as for them looking out for leaks; the water would have to be running out of the house before they contact you.

That isn't true. Last year a nice lady from the water company knocked at the door and said that we had unusually high usage and after she looked around she found that the fittings around the pool pump were leaking water.

I have been told that companies don't have personalities, but I think reputable companies are owned and run by reputable people. The bottom line of course is to make money. There is no intrinsic sin or shame in this. Money enables people to work for a living, even if they are a CEO and make a LOT of money. What you pray for is that CEO is your son in law or daughter.

Chelly, it appears all is well now. If we all had the same take on life, it would be a boring world and none of us would need blood pressure medicine.

I agree with you also Gracie, you always put a different perspective on things.
I wish your case was more the Norm then mine, at least they knocked on the door instead of taking liberty's that would of put you in a caution mode.
Thank You as always.
