Q: We own a house and the water company digged up our driveway without warning, we can't even park in it. what can we do?
Our house is older on a main street in town. The person called and asked if they can come in and track a water line we said sure they drilled small hole and filled, but today they came out after me and wife left for work no warning and completely tore up 3/4 of our driveway as well as messed up grass with tracks and grass removed caused by their equipment and left it, now we can't park in our own driveway
A:
Usually the cities provide the water.
Is it a private water company.
There are rules as to what can be done if the water lines have a problem.
If it is the city, check with them as to what they plan to do.
