3 days agoMy SO is on there for local information. Like we lost water a couple months ago and only knew that it wasn’t just us because of Facebook. Thats a huge failing for the water company. I’ve never been on fb personally, never understood the need the share so much information and I dont care what my family is doing lol
We have a pump in the basement that gives us water pressure, I had thought it died. There are no spigots or faucets before the pump to test. We were stressing because that damn thing is 1500 dollars and we struggle to buy food. There could also be a broken pipe from the street to the house. Having more information to diagnose where the issue was coming from was helpful.
Facebook was the only source of info, we even called the water company, no one picked up and voicemail recording said nothing. Local news is only available at certain times of day and comes from a city close by so local things like a recent water main breakage wouldnt be covered unless its been over 24 hours. Same with radio stations around here. Our town is too small for anyone to give a shit reporting on something small like that unless it gets worse.
