It is quite obvious to u...Our July 6 , 2011 Email <br /><br />It is quite obvious to us that there are a multitude of issues that need to be addressed by Artesian Water concerning the Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal.<br /> <br />We have been made aware of more issues and complaints concerning this current Artesian Water Company Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal then in the entire multi year span of the Del -DOT State Road 141, Centre Road, Kirkwood Highway to Faulkland Road project . <br /> <br />Unfortunately this is what we have come to expect from Artesian Water projects as a Civic Club , after the last Water Main Renewal projects , work was improperly back filled leading to sink holes as well as a majority of the water valves in the rest of Brookland Terrace have needing to be replaced both damaging streets that then Del-DOT has to fix , <br /> <br />Then when work is promised by Artesian Water and weeks & months go by with out completion .<br /> <br />This type of project can be done properly we have seen it done a multitude of times by both Del-DOT & New Castle County Special Services . <br /> <br />If this was an issue with Del-DOT or New Castle County Special Services an email & a follow up phone call from us would have taken care of the issues properly & normally inside of a week .<br /> <br />We have come to expect at our & other civic groups , Del -DOT Working Group meetings the mention of Artesian Water will cause groans and sighs . <br /> <br />I am sorry to say as a civic club we quite frankly dread having to deal with Artesian Water on an ongoing basis . <br /> <br />During the current Brookland Terrace Water Main Renewal project , gas line were broken that home owners had to notify your crews about , lack of silt fences , no traffic control , cars blocked in drive ways , water turned off with out notice , tree roots were cut with a it will be ok . With clean up and restoration staples improperly inserted , improper grading , silted up storm drains , curbs walkways & steps improperly redone , walls half redone & this is just a sampling . <br /> <br />The continued level of sustained incompetence on Artesian Waters part frankly astounds me , And yes the tree will fall onto county park land & New Castle County Special Services will deal with it , And yes the work that was improperly back filled that will lead to sink hole & Del DOT will fix the issue , It seems to us Artesian Water passes their issues off to others on an ongoing basis . <br /> <br />Every home on East Brookland , Beech , Elm & Walnut Ave. needs to be contacted by Artesian Water & have any & all their issues addressed promptly .<br /> <br />At our 71st Incorporation Day Events on July 30th 2 PM , I look forward to hearing that all of these issues have been addressed to everyones satisfaction .<br /><br />Sadly this has not been the caseBrookland Terrace Civic Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962734687154839273noreply@blogger.com
