Water… Water… I Need Water.
Dear Sewage & Water Board,
As a long-time New Orleans resident, I’ve become sadly adapted to the results of political and civic incompetence. High crime, pothole-lined roads, malfunctioning stoplights, the usual. I realized some time ago that this city is run by the same 1000 monkey that, supposedly, can hammer out the works of Shakespeare if you leave them alone with typewriters.
But you, S&WB, have always been a particularly foul mark on the city. You’ve always been known for high rates, bad customer service and undrinkable water. It is no wonder that Kentwood bottles its water here, there are so many locals desperate for real water, they can make bank just reminding us what real H20 tastes like.
But today you broke new ground. Today you provided service so bad, so awful, that I actually WISHED I had access to your dirty-tasting water. That’s right, you disconnected my water. Why? Because of a stupid form.
No warning, No call. Not even a knock to let me know they’re turning it off. Just a dishwasher sounding like a cat had crawled in it.
So, if you have a moment, I’d like to tell my story and I hope you will listen to it and learn from it…
