Love that dirty water? Not really . . .

The Standells may have “Loved that Dirty Water” because Boston was their home, but for those of us along Mink Brook, we don’t care for it all that much.

For those of you that have been following along, you’ll recognize that this has been an ongoing situation all summer and fall. The town gives us one excuse after another, and so far has refused to take any meaningful action to actually correct the situation. Here’s the note I just emailed to Rob Houseman, with a cc to Julia Griffin:

Rob – Please see attached picture that Lara just took.  This is silt coming into Mink Brook right now!  How many more times are we going to allow this to happen before you halt the project over there so someone can figure out where it is coming from and how to make it stop?  I don’t understand why this is allowed to keep happening and nothing is done.  I can meet you at the house right now if you would like to see it.

If anybody is so inclined, please feel free to join the chorus. Maybe there’s strength in numbers – my voice alone doesn’t seem to be getting it done.
