  • Start sabotaging them. Be the change you want to see.

    Personally, if it’s an unmodified electric cart, it’s whatever to me. When you start taking limiters off, that’s a different story. They otherwise go fairly slowly.

    I certainly don’t condone driving around drinking in them, but I’ve certainly done that very thing playing golf, so I guess I’m a smidge hypocrite.

    But yeah, sabotage them. Imagine going out in your cart, parking it outside a bar, and coming back to it no longer functioning. That’s just, IMO.


  • This sounds like an emergency situation, a broken main, versus someone digging. These get discovered when Joe schmo turns his water on and it’s brown, no pressure, or someone driving down the street encounters a flood on a sunny day. They contact the water company, and the water company then identifies the problem. Time is continuing to pass as this all occurs.

    Water utility calls every account holder affected by the outage. They post online. They notify the town and the town posts on their website. Dunno what this “system no one knows about” is, but around me there’s a service called Nixle that I use, and you’ll get text messages about things, including water main breaks and boil water advisories.

    They had four methods in OP’s case. OP describes “a system no one knows about,” which sounds like a system OP doesn’t know about. They call you, unless you refused to put your phone number on your account, and then what? Are they supposed to go door to door? It’s an emergency.

    The entitlement here is staggering. If you want to be informed, you gotta give them a way to inform you. If you hide away for whatever reason, you run the risk of missing announcements.

    Four options isn’t enough? I get you didn’t get it, but do you want them to knock on your door?

    I subscribe to a service called Nixle, and the water company will email and phone is anytime there is an issue. I’m not sure what else they’re supposed to be doing. If you’re hard to find you’re hard to find. Definitely sucks to find out there’s a boil water advisory after you’ve been chugging water all morning though.
