TUES UPDATE – City of Chico is a Gutter Flooder

by Jack

For the last few days I’ve noticed flooding Bruce Road….that’s right flooding. The water is runoff from the in-ground sprinkler system in the divider strip near Enloe’s annex. Since the road is crowned it allows the water to flow off on both sides, covering all four lanes and this water-waste goes on for hours. How could the City allow this at a time when they are asking us to skip washing our cars because of a severe draught?

UPDATE: According to Cal Water the City is well aware of this and it’s been reported numerous times, even by the police department. But, they will get to it when they can, it’s just not a big priority. It would probably take all of 30 minutes to fix, but since there is no fine involved time is on their side.

    Maybe “the city” does not know. Did you report it?

    Public works can’t know they have a malfunction to repair if you don’t tell them about it.

    And Cal Water rates are going up what? Something like 20%?

    I’m sure Tom Lando and his ilk will suggest a sales tax increase to fund this flooding (while of course outlawing garden hoses and lawn sprinklers for the peasants).

    What happened to Obama’s declaration “You can’t stay?”

    Sorry, that was rhetorical, Obama’s lie evaporated the moment it left his mouth.

    OK, on topic.

    Hey, the government is paying for it, not us.
