Jacobs ignoring situation as tens of thousands of gallons of water wasted

Villages-News · last updated

To the Editor:

For days now water has been pouring out of a water main break on Del Mar Drive just south of Rio Grande Avenue. It has been reported to the VCCDD’s utility contractor, Jacobs, several times. Jacobs refuses to either turn off the water or repair the line. As a result, tens of thousands of gallons of treated potable water is literally going down the storm drain. Who do you think is paying for all that water? You and me. It makes you wonder just what kind of contract the VCCDD has with Jacobs that allows them to be so non-responsive? What kind of oversight does the VCCDD have with their contractor? This isn’t the first time this has happened and probably won’t be the last. Who is going to pay for the repairs to the resident’s property?
