Gigi and Papa Doc came to visit for the weekend.  Campbell loves the Children’s Museum and the carousel (and Pancho the horse!).

We had some water running into the street from the grass near the tree in between the sidewalk and the street in front of our house.  That area is supposed to be the responsibility of the HOA, so I alerted them, they called MLGW, and MLGW came out this afternoon and turned off our water with no explanation.  I called for them to come back out and tell me what was going on.  Finally, they showed up at 11:00 tonight.  Apparently, the leak was significant enough that they turned it off to keep our water bill from being too high.  When they looked tonight, they told us that the water leak was on the side of the meter closest to the house, which is the homeowner’s responsibility.  But it’s also in the median between the sidewalk and the street which is the HOA responsibility.  Apparently, if it’s caused by the tree, they will pay up to 20%.  It was clearly caused by the roots, but the MLGW person told us to call a plumber to get it fixed.  So, we will see what happens.

This is Campbell’s take…
