Ellicott Street Geyser
This morning walking Ella, I came across the Ellicott Street Geyser. A 4 foot hole in the right away at 1101 E. Ellicott, with a thousands, well maybe hundreds, okay alot, of gallons of water flowing out of it runng into thre storm drain.
Apparently it started out a small hole yesterday. Yesterday, at 1:30 P.M. the homeowner called the Water Department. They reportedly did not seem overly concerned but said they would sent someone out. Well as of 7:15 AM this morning no one had arrived and of course by this time the leak became worse. The road is facing undermining. In this time of water shortage a lot of water is going ot waste. And for those unlucky to be living nearby, and across the street, they had no water to bathe with this morning.
Well TPD was called and as usual they responded quickly. They block off the road to prevent a big truck from collasping the road and raised the water department from their beds.
Photos to come tonight.

Not that I am normally a dork like this... but
"right away" ... incorrect
"right of way" ... correct (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/right%20of%20way)
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was early in the day and you were clearly more concerned about the substance of your post not the grammar.
Too bad the Water Dept doesn't act as fast and as ferociously as the Grammar Patrol.
