The saga of the water meter
Sep. 24th, 2014 12:00 pmWarning: Rant ahead
So, when we moved in a year ago, the strip of yard to the side of the driveway heading down to the woods had been allowed to go pretty wild. There's a drainage ditch through that section that doesn't get a lot of water, but gets enough to support some healthy plant growth and to make it difficult to get a lawnmower through there.
So, we ignored it for about a year until we finally got a heavy duty weed whacker that could take on all the tall grasses through that area. In July,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rackham tackled the area and hacked everything back... and it looked pretty good. He also discovered a water meter buried under all that grass. So, you can imagine our surprise when, the following week, we got a notice from our water company ( that access to our water meter was restricted by plant growth and we needed to clear it out. )
