You will not believe what I was just told. The DWP says they are at a loss to explain why this would happen - the lady I talked to is forty-two years old and she, like me, has lived here all her life and never heard of such a thing happening in LA. They have no ETA, there is nothing they can do, nor is there anything they WILL do - apparently, homeowners are responsible, not the DWP - their responsibility is only at what they call the "mains" and the water at the "mains" is fine - it's the pipes on the homeowners property that are frozen. I mean, COME ON. I aksed her what if it's all day and night. She said nothing they can do. I asked her what if it's a week? Nothing they can do. I am not a happy camper at this time. The sky is blue and the sun is out, so maybe that will help.
She'd been to work for fifteen minutes and has already had nine calls and there were seventy calls waiting after me. REVOLT!
