It's a Damm Shame that city departments,like the Water,Public Safety,Garbage, and other general departments that service our city,ignore citizens complaints,and their many other concerns. I have been trying to contact someone in the water dept for 3 damm months now,to come out to my apartment building to test our drinking water.I was told at a City Council meeting,that the Highland Park drinking water is safe and pure that's crap. However,I will be at the next City Council meeting to bring up this same concern. According to the workers in the Public Housing dept,it's something that is done at the water treatment plant.It's sad when the ball is bounced back and forth between city departments. Nasty and unclean water do cause health problems. This is a major problem along with trash on our streets,and in our alleys,and drug related crimes. Something should be done about it. owenchastain Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 1:54 pm:        Can you tell me what to do about health department issues? There is an abandoned house next to me with tons of trash in the backyard. Large rats are traveling onto my property and my I don't know who or where to go or call. Thanks for any suggestions Darwin Parks Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 3:10 pm:        Owen, you should start by contacting the Wayne County Health Department. I am sure that they can direct you to the proper authority. Hope this helps!
