| Ok, had my question answered, somebody knocked a fire hydrant over on Catalina near Reno Dr, back towards second beach. Tried calling the water company and somehow got patched through to another person calling the water company (it was her yard being flooded by the fire hydrant). |

| That sucks, hope you're not without water for too long. I'm sure they will have to shut it off to fix it. |

| Thanks for answering my question. I tried to get through to the water co. and all I got was disconnected then got dead silence the second time I tried. Forums work way better than normal sources when it comes to getting info. |

| Dish washer shut off an hour before the water went out, so everything will be fine...just may be a little thirsty. I feel bad for the lady with the flooded yard, who knows how long before it starts going into her basement. |

| apology first of all i would like to apologize to everyone who had problems with their water. I was the one who ran into the fire hyrdrant and caused all of the water problems. no i was not speeding, no i was not on my cell phone, and yes i had about 4 beers before driving. stupid i know, and i shouldnt have done it but there is nothing i can do about it now. came around a turn and hit loose gravel in the road and lost control. needed new front tires badly anyway so that did not help. tried doing everything i could to save the car but in the end nothing i did helped. ended up slamming into the fire hydrant and a tree. hit it at about 25-30mph. was loaded onto a stretcher and rushed to prince frederick hospital. it was mostly cosmetic damage to the car and all on the passenger side. passenger walked away fine due to the fact that i wasnt speeding and didnt hit anything going very fast. me on the other hand, i have 120,000$ worth of hardware in my back due to a spinal fusion and ended up with a small fracture in my lower back and 2 lumps in my right lung. from what i could tell and pictures that were taken noones yard was really flooded. i really wish CRE would spend money on fixing the already horrible roads we have in here instead of putting it in their pockets. but again, i apologize to any inconvenience i caused to anybody due to my accident. |
