Fwd: Water Pressure in Tenleytown

In the interest of full disclosure: After writing that we also had low
water pressure in the house, I went to check on the filters in the house water
filtering system. They had been neglected and needed to be changed. After we
did so, the water pressure was fine again.

Recycle -what for?

I have also observed that if the regular trash truck arrives first, an
advance man often empties the recycle cans into a bigger emptied regular
trash bin and dumps that in the recycle truck when it arrives. Also,
because of this process my regular trash bin recently went missing for a
week after it was used for this purpose but it showed up again when
neighbors put their trash bins out the following week. If this makes it
easier for the recycle people it is OK with me as long as they return the
regular trash bin to its owner's property.

Thanks very much to all who helped on this, with a special thanks to
Gilberto Solano. This is a terrific program and I am glad the Mayor's

quickly.

improving the area. "Operation Just Fix It" is Mayor Adrian M.

one DC Government agency. "Fix Its" usually cover a 2-3 block radius
and are aimed to improve the quality of life for residents,
businesses an! d patrons.

Mayor's Office of Community Outreach and Services (MOCRS) work with
residents to identify and prioritize problem areas in a given ward.
MOCRS then coordinate the efforts of the other District Government
agencies on its Core Team to develop a multi-coordinated agency
strategy designed to solve the problems and assign agency resources
needed to abate these issues.

Through Mayor Fenty's "Operation Just Fix It" programs, the Mayor's
Office of Community Relations and Services works hands-on with other
agencies to bring remedy to such problem areas.
