I
agree and as I shared my approach is to allow DC Water a little more time to
develop their strategy/action steps and come before the residents of LeDroit
Park in September both with hard information on the causes and concrete steps
moving forward. I will be happy to get
back to you as we move to a date. We all
deserve answers and—rest assured-- I will stay with you.
Bests,

Whenever
DC Water and the City are able to finally pull something together that is not
insulting to the residents of Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park please let us know.
As
an affected and concerned resident of LeDroit Park, I am shocked by how this
whole situation is being handled and the general direction of solutions.
After
contacting and attempting to work with DC Water, The Mayor`s Office, Insurance
Companies, and the Media including the Washington Post....it is becoming clear
that perhaps all citizens in
Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park will have to resort to a collaborative legal
action effort against the city. - If it
takes another consent decree, then so be it.
One
thing is for sure, we are not going to give up or forget.

Thank you, Myla. I am following this issue closely and with concern. I know CM McDuffie is as well. I know of the meeting that was held Saturday in Bloomingdale on this topic with DC Water General Manager George Hawkins presenting. I am also aware of the action plan referred to in this email.
In
all that I have read it is still not clear the very specific root cause or
causes to this recurring problem. The
cleaning of storm drains, installation of devices, handing out sand bags is
appreciated but does not provide the level of security fixing this. I want answers for the residents of LeDroit
Park and I want them to be significant.
I have asked GM. Hawkins for a detailed report to move forward and that
we prepare for a meeting in September.
Bests, Jim Graham
