Does anybody else think that we have an unusually high frequency of utility service interruptions in Mt Lebanon?
Isn't there anything that we can do as a community to encourage the PUC to pressure the electric company to cut tree branches, the gas company to replace (versus repair) spent lines, the water company to replace the worn-out cast iron pipes, etc?
These unfortunate outcomes are remain on-going examples of a broken deregulatory model that should have never been enacted!
Sure thing.
That will be:
Branches - $8/mo,
Pipes - $8/mo,
Lines - $8/mo
______________
Total - $24/mo
Is there anything else you need today? :)
Hi Matt,
I don't follow you. Were these amounts actually proposed?
Let me ask you, "What is the value of uninterrupted electric power to an elderly resident who requires a respiratory device; or to a hospital with a trauma center?"
Hospitals have emergency generators powered by natural gas and/or enough diesel fuel for 72 hours run time.
