city wants you to tattle-tale
tommyWe got this email from Shannon Edge, Tampa’s Neighborhood Czar:
Good-afternoon Neighborhood & Community Leaders,
The City of Tampa’s Water Department is seeking your help if you see water use violators by calling the Water Use Violation Hotline at (813) 274-8036 and leaving a message with the address, date and time. The Water Department has already stepped up their efforts for enforcement and giving citations due to the severity of the drought. All city employees out in the field have also been asked to be the eyes and report violators.
Residents and businesses inside the city limits are restricted to the following:
* Addresses ending in an even number or the letters A-M may water on Tuesdays only.
* Addresses ending in an odd number or the letters N-Z may water on Sundays only.
* Watering on the designated day is allowed between midnight and 8:00 a.m. or 6:00 p.m. and midnight.
* Please report any broken water lines or hydrants by calling (813) 274-7400.Speaking of rain and the predicted 17 storms for the hurricane season, please find attached a document with important hurricane numbers to share with your family, neighbors and co-workers. Please visit our website at www.tampagov.net/neighborhoods to find out what flood zone and evacuation area you live in by using the “My Tampa Address” feature on the left hand side of the page, under the City of Tampa map. Our office will also be happy to send you the County’s special needs form if you know anyone who might need special assistance during an evacuation. On June 5th, the City of Tampa will be participating in the County’s free Annual Hurricane event at Leto High School from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Please contact us for more details.
Many thanks for your help and please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any help to you.

[...] Three fillings in a pool that no one has yet used, in a building where no one yet lives. I wonder if the city of Tampa even considers that a violation, seeing that they are suggesting you tattle on neighbors using too much water. [...]

that’s disgusting. Was a time you would never have seen anything like that from Tampa. It’s the whole distrust seed … I’m glad someone else finally pointed this out because I’ve been saying it for ages.
