FINAL UPDATE:
The BPUB has to be lying, and they fixed the line when they moved the meter. There was a lot of water, which moved past three houses to the drain at the curb at the corner. Roto-Rooter got here and dug up where the leak was, and the line is clean, no leak. I have the video. I can see where the BPUB moved their valve. It was their problem, and they fixed it. They lied when they called me twice to blame the line on my side. We have the video and there is no leak. We have the video to show where they moved their valve.
*************
If you look closely the turnoff valve is below the lip of the cover. It is not accessible even with the special tool. Oh, I did it, but it took almost ten minutes, as the water flowed.
When you turn the valve, the entire meter moves. It moves the line coming into my house. Roto Rooter is on the way after 2 to fix it again. Any movement of the BPUB's meter will move my line and cause it to rupture.
UPDATE ON MOVING VALVE
BPUB is clear, they are not responsible for the moving valve. It is their valve, not mine. When it moves it puts pressure on the PVC connection going into my home. The water bill is going to be high. I am just going to sue in JP court. They will not pay, and the non-prevailing party will appeal to the county court at law.
Now Roto Router is suggesting I will have to pay for a repair to the BPUB meter. I am still waiting on them to get here. I told them it would have to be late afternoon. I am on a 6-month warranty from two weeks ago. We shall see.
***************
The problems have persisted since the city replaced the meter. The way it was installed causes stress on the line which causes my line to rupture.
Suing is normally not an option. But my water bill is going to be threw the ceiling. This is twice in two weeks. This time it is covered by the warranty. But the warranty does not cover the cost of water.
LINDA MACIA'S HAS NO VALUE AS A CITY COMMISSIONER
She has become comfortable and no longer addresses community issues. Cowen Terrace east is a mess. A group of homeowners have been challenging the city's refusal to bar a homeowner from using her home as a junk yard. I drove down Cowen Terrace east yesterday and it was sad.
As the elderly die, their children move into the home. They keep the tax exemptions. They have no money and soon tarps go up on the roofs. They have no interest in caring for the home or the outside.
There is not much the city can do about residents refusing to care for their property, but the city can impose the proper taxes. The children of the former homeowner will not be able to afford the taxes. I am also concerned they do not have insurance, which means in the event of a fire, we will have an abandoned home.
THE BELOW POTHOLE IS IN FRONT OF MY NEIGHBOR'S HOME
This is two years old. The city of Brownsville will not fix it. This is done by the garbage truck. My street is in desperate need of repair. In the eyes of Linda Macia's we do not exist.
