“Dear PoPville,
Curious if anyone know what the story is with the trash pile and small excavator in the Dumbarton oaks park right off Wisconsin Ave?”
“Dear PoPville,
DC saying, sorry, we may have told you that you don’t have led pipes but we may have been wrong….and figure it out for yourself and sure we can send you a water test if you specifically ask, seems grossly irresponsible and not at all of a reasonable response…” (more…)
