Has anyone else been having drinking water and washing water problems due to PWSA work?
by janet jai 22 May '22

Hi, Neighbors, For more than a month now we have had intermittent problems with brown drinking water and clogged washing machines and sink faucets. These problems started after the PWSA began work and well before the time they told us we would have problems, which they said would only happen briefly when they attached the new main pipe to the service lines connected to the houses on our street (Euclid) so we would then have to flush our water. They made this connection early this past week, and we did flush our water, and the problems continue. On Saturday evening, I started to do a laundry load of nice clothing, and there was an explosion of dirty brown water onto the clothes. The PWSA hadn’t done any work around here since Friday so it was jarring to suddenly have brown washing water again. A few weeks back, dirt had totally clogged our washing machines so we couldn’t run either. I have been drinking only bottled water for the past 3-4 weeks, after having our water turn brown even after boiling. Has anybody else been having such problems, or are we having them because our house is at an epicenter of PWSA work (the corner of Jackson and Euclid)? We have been very supportive of PWSA work, which we know is for longterm good, but we believe we should have been told how long this work was going to take (signs here indicate until June 17, and one of our earliest PWSA door signs is dated March 23), and especially about all the potentially unhealthy side effects that we might have to deal with. janet jai, MLA

Bryant Street Festival is looking for Artists and Volunteers
by Bob Staresinic 22 May '22

22 May '22

Highland Park's Annual Bryant Street Festival is coming up after a 2-year hiatus. The festival is taking place from Noon to 5 pm on Sunday June 5th. Looking for Artists and Food Vendors This annual street fair is sponsored by the Highland Park Community Council and takes place on Bryant Street between Highland and N. St Clair streets. The event includes live musical performances, food vendors, artists selling their work, and hands-on activities. We are looking for artists or crafters from the neighborhood who would like to participate by performing on stage, demonstrating or selling arts/crafts, or showing off what you do. Be creative! We are open to ideas. There is one spot open for a stage performer (about one hour), but plenty of space for vendors. We also need volunteers for setting up and taking down the event. It will probably be about an hour for each part. We can really use your help! If you are interested in joining us or if you have any questions contact Bob Staresinic at bob.63(a)netzero.net Everyone who is not participating is encouraged to come to the festival for music, browsing the vendors' wares, and /meeting/visiting with neighbors. Look forward to seeing you on the 5th.
