It's July 14 and no ground has been broken. All that has been done to date is to flush the water lines/hydrants. We've had our water turn brown from all the rust. It has been terrible. I would be amazed if they actually start anything in July.

Our lines/hydrants do get flushed once a year.

I still have rust problems which I assume are coming from the storage tanks as all our mains have been replaced and I've had all the plumbing replaced in the house... and the connection to the main.

This was the first time that I can recall that the main/hydrants were flushed. When we bought the house we installed a new water line in from the street as the old one was very clogged. I can't imagine how bad the main must be -- it's ancient!

LOL.... stick around when they haul up the old pipe. You'll never drink water again!

Never did like SB water growing up. I'd put the teabag in the cup and immediately the water would turn dark dark brown like coffee. Yuck.

I sometimes brew using loose teas and have noticed the bleeding in water both here and elsewhere.

I've had a Franke filtration system in the house for years; don't recall the taste of the non filtered water.

Miller Place is home to John Rouse. It goes without saying that he would take care of his nabe first.
Rouse and Lesko have little love for Jane in RP.

They are done every election.

Couldn't agree more - Christian Ave and parts of Sheep Pasture really look worse than third-world country roads. Very hard to swallow the property taxes paid when looking at what you get in return. The school argument is a delusion.

They DID do a nice job on Lower Sheep, between Nichols and Old Town, though

But if you noticed, Upper Sheep Pasture, where SFR lives, was done prior to all this. Plenty of grousing ensued.

Whats with all that stupid at the bottom of Old town and lower Sheep where youre driving into oncoming traffic?

That is by far the worst traffic pattern I have seen anywhere since they closed the 347 9 way turn at Sunoco in PJS
