Got Safe Water?

I am certain that everyone, including visitors, have noticed the massive water leak at Frank Lee Homes. Well, since I am a concerned citizen, I called city hall regarding the water leak. The call really wasn’t based on concern; I wanted to know if the office Frank Lee Homes had a water meter. In other words, I wanted to know if they paid a water bill because the leak is leaving big puddle of water. Unfortunately, the leak seems to be underneath the parking area and could lead to a costly repair by MRHA 8; either they will need to remove the pavement or pay a large water bill each month. I can imagine that J.P. Lawrence is rethinking the push to have individual meters on the MRHA properties. Another concern that arose during the calls about the water leak was the possible loss of power to the lift station at Frank Lee Homes. From what I was told, it seems that the integrity of the pump may have been compromised and the water seems a bit cloudy. Also, it seems that Public Works Director, Ryan Easley, did not think the area should be notified of the cloudy water results and refused to issue a boil water notice for the residents of Frank Lee Homes. Just Sunday, Ryan was featured in an article saying how he loved small towns and the fact that people in Lumberton speak. Well, the people in Lumberton, well, most people, demand, equal services. I would like to know why he did not think the residents of Frank Lee Homes did not deserve to know that there could be possible contamination in the water they are using and issue a boil water advisory until a test was performed to ensure that the water is safe for consumption. I would like Ryan to know that this is not acceptable and if you are concerned about the water you are consuming, you should give him a call and demand to have the water tested and to issue a boil water advisory for the area. I do not have the number to the Public Works Barn, but the number to city hall is 601-769-8341.
