… any time you want to give us more information on the boil-water advisory issued last Wednesday evening (July 1 for those keeping score at home), we’d be more than happy to receive it. Cause you know, you told us you’d have results on Friday at the earliest, thereby setting up the expectation that we’d have news in two to three days. I know Wednesday was a holiday, and there was a weekend in there, but come on. We’re on day six of the advisory, and if there’s been nothing concrete in the test results, at least tell us that testing is ongoing and thank us for our patience and continued co-operation. I know you don’t want to spread misinformation or raise alarm more than you already have, but even a “stay tuned” note would go a long way right about now.
I’ve been optimistic and given you the benefit of the doubt, but really. The ball is being dropped in a major way.
No love,
Autumn
ETA: Well, thank you. Although why did you wait till Monday to run the tests?
Look at that, though – your co-operation was excellent!
I was amused by their choice of adverb as well.
One wonders if they expected residents to run amok over their lack of drinkable water.
Congratulations on your excellent cooperation! Did you get a gold star? Or is it just a participation prize?
I want my gold star or there will be rioting damnit!
I think our prize is actually being able to drink tap water again. Lousy prize, I know.
Congratulations! You win *not* getting cholera from your water supply!
It is drinkable… we got a mailbox notice… hope you did too.
We did get a notice, but not until the day after I read the “all-OK” press release I linked to in ETA to the post. I was checking the LaSalle site every morning for news.
