Sometimes it is just difficult to live your life where you choose to live, that is my story.
I say send out a press release with the others who have been denied, have your talking points ready, then let it rip.
We just did that (and 2 board members went to the city council) and lo and behold the street sweeper showed up for a week, then the Army Corp. of Engineers showed up at the creek where we drain off, then last Thrusday I hear this noise and the city vacuum truck was out there. I went out to see if he was doing the sanitary or storm drains which go into out lake, he said storm drains, and that guy got one big hug from me.!
Now the politicians and the city know we can get the Sunday paper, front page above the fold. I did have to keep my phone off the hook for a week and pretend they were broken till the commotion died down as not to upset my husband AGAIN over this lake. It worked out - for the moment. Will be interesting to see what the salinity test reveal, we thawed days before any of the other lakes, could be the amount of rain that came in through the drains, but I bet the salinity is high, this was a harsh winter with lots of salt put down outside the sub, and that one drain does go into out lake. This is a long term battle.
