Yesturday we filed complaint with city water/sewer department about the sewer problems we’ve had here over the last three years. Today man from the city water/sewer department came to inspect and followup on the complaint. (Small town, and we live just across the street!) When he found out slumlady’s name he said, “….oh yes, she is a continuing problem for us with her properties…”
He also said that since the problem is the line that goes from the main to the house, it is the slumlady’s responsibilty to fix. What the will do is once we have the water shutoff, the are placing a service block on this address. Slumlady will have to prove to the city that she has the sewer line repaired before any water service will be allowed at this address again! They are also going to notify the Department of Enviromental Quality to inspect and insure that the sewer line is properly repaired. If it isn’t, slumlady will be fined!
Now once we’re completely out of this dump we’re going to see if the health department is the right folks to call about inspecting the black mold that’s been growing in the ceiling from the leaking roof for the last three years. Is it the common kind or the deadly kind of mold that’s been making us sick, congested, giving us headaches, etc for last three years? We’ll if it’s the health department, or someone else, we’ll find out.
