Cleveland Water Dept. will conduct Public Dog & Pony Show

After continual complaints of incompetence Cleveland Water Dept. (CWD) will conduct a series of meeting dealings with concerns and complaints of residents served by their over 6000 miles of waterlines.

This is nothing more than a typical Cuyahoga County Dog & Pony Show. Your complaints will be heard, you will be given a pat on the head and a promise they will institute change and everything will be OK - they will fix it. I wonder if that means they will fix it the same way they fo their waterlines that continually explode like popcorn at a Saturday night movie...

From the PD --

• The problems came to light after The Plain Dealer began reporting on issues plaguing residents and business owners who use Cleveland water. The division is run by the city but serves 1.4 million people across Northeast Ohio.
  
  The division, anxious to reach out to disgruntled residents, is holding 10 more customer service fairs over the next three weeks in response to a recent wave of complaints about spiked bills, malfunctioning meters, slow response to service requests and rude treatment by employees.
