theres excitment from the residents of a Burslem road. no not because of the football, but when will Seven Trent Water come to patch up a water leak,
the leak was reported earlier this week and we were told that it will be checked and sorted within 24hours .
ok its not avery fast flowing leak, but its a leak,
the tention mounts.netting is twitching, blinds are opened - bets are being taken for when the work men arrive.
if anyone else finds a water leak you can report it via the seven trent web site.

well we had a phone call this
well we had a phone call this morning to say that the street was visited by seven trent water board work men on wednesday night.
didnt see them....
the call was to say there was NO leak where we had stated and that we should contact the council if we feel that there is a problem.
my reply was that there is a leak and that the men didnt look. and that i had a photo to prove there was a leak if she needed it.
"no" she didnt.
she would send someone out again to look, but it would be monday or tuesday.
my advice was that they should knock on our door and ill point it out.
the water leak is definitley running a little faster-
i knew that this wouldnt be a simple straight forward job. always drama .

Don't all be making a cuppa at half time tonight, you'll be disappointed.
Pretty disgraceful though, considering the prices we have to pay for the stuff of life.

water board man has seen the growing water leak today. and drawn a blue arrow on the pavement. to indicate to the hole digging/pipe fixing / hole filling workers i surpose.
he did knock on our door - just to say "yes" hed seen it. but he said that he was sent up further up the road last week to spot the leak.
thats his excuss anyway..
since last week there has been new cracks in the road . im not parking my car near it anyway,,,

Wow, now thats progress, making use of 21st century technology. Did he have a divining rod this time, or did he follow his instructions more clearly?
Can we have some pictures of the blue arrow in action?

web monkey your wish is my comand.- photo of high tec blue arrows pinpointing the exact spot the water is leaking from the road. that was yesterdays photo,
today after coming home from work i had missed the hole in the road digging event.....
even the neighbours hadnt noticed that they had arrived,
perhaps i might spot them in the next few days. my camera is ready.
I think the main lesson that
I think the main lesson that should be learnt by everyone reading this, is get your self a can of blue spray paint, and just before you ring the water board, go out side and spray some giant blue arrows on the road where the problem is, so the semi sighted staff can find it.
Oh, by the way, there was talk of a hose pipe ban this summer. Maybe if the repairs department were a little more efficient in the early stages of repairs things wouldn't be too bad.
its happened again, iv come
its happened again, iv come back from work and the hole digging, leak mending, hole filling workmen have been and gone,
the leak and hole is no more.

Not a bad 24hour turn around then. Full marks to Seven Trent Water for their speed actions.
