CUC water meter installation
As a concerned citizen I am writing this letter to simply ask the following questions that I personally believe would affect CUC water customers in general.On Oct. 8, 2007, the existing four water meters installed within our property was relocated and replaced with new ones outside our property line.The four relocated water meters were previously equipped with ¾ PVC ball valves but, to my surprise, these same ball valves were not reinstalled. The contractor explained that it is not part of their construction contract with the CUC Water Task Force.The technical and logical questions are:1. Why was no ball valve or gate valve installed after each water meter?2. How can the water customers repair their water pipe lines or plumbing fixtures if such valves are not provided?3. Will water customers need to call CUC water division if repairs are needed? If so, how soon will the water crew arrive at the customer's place? If the repair work takes one hour, one day or so, will CUC come and wait until the repairs are done? Who will be responsible for the lost or wasted water while waiting for the CUC crew(s)? There is a new 1 ½ PVC ball valve controlling the four new water meters installed at my place. I was told to close it to conduct repairs, resulting in the stoppage of water supply to the three other water meters. Is that logical?4. Is it not part of the contract with CUC/Water Task Force to have those ball valves/gate valves installed? (At least those with existing ball valves/gate valves prior to installation of new water meters.)5. If it is not part of the contract, then it may be part of the restoration clause of existing improvements damaged by construction operations (the installation of new water meters)?Please assist me to clarify this matter. Thank you very much.Manny T. VilagaIsa Road, Capital Hill
