new water using appliances have been added either The water is The water department said meter readings were correct We looked into the meter sewer and found it half-filled with water and still dripping We called the department the men came out and admitted there was a broken pipe or leak and said it could cause the meter to register Said they'd be back soon But nothing so Thorough checks by the water distribution bureau revealed no leaks affecting your meter There was a leak on the street side of the roundway said a spokesman for the department but this had nothing to do with nor would it affect meter readings It's not our he reported You may have a leaky faucet flush box etc that could be causing your bills to go up The best thing to do he advises is to get a licensed plumber to check it out About the city workmen stating your meter could be affected by the leak the spokesman said he believed you were misinformed by the men or misunderstood them A contractor who was to have remodeled my porch did not complete the job leaving part of the gutter ing down light fixture not connected etc And when I turned the doorknob it came off I paid him in full be- fore checking to see that the job completed to my satisfaction Now I can't get him to come back He keeps putting me off with one excuse or another Can you T r 5 contractor uho said he had intention of finishing the work

promise I live on the 5200 block of Van Buren Water pressure is so bad that I find myself without water for hours at a time Can anything be done to alleviate the The same day we called the Central
