Someone needs to report this to the state authorities and to the state fire marshals office this is uncalled for as an employee of a water supply with over 3,000 fire hydrants I am glad to say I only have 2 out of service and that is due to new construction in the area get with the program people

The reporting from NorthEscambia.com on the Town of Century has shown governance is not working, is inept, possibly corrupt on some levels, and continues to decline regardless of the steps taken. One council persons response to the reporting was not “what can we do to make it better” but rather “how can we get this news site to leave us alone”.

I look at the site daily expecting one day the State of Florida to wake up and pay attention to what is going on and provide oversight or the people of Century to say “enough is enough” and vote to dissolve the city and let the county take things back over but it never happens.

Regardless, keep it up William. Shining the light of truth on what is happening will one day be the catalyst for change.

Once again the TOC leadership have proven their inability to provide even basic services. Meanwhile, the ones that are supposed to be maintaining the city’s infrastructure are styling in those brand new trucks.

Dysfunctional, no leadership, no vision. An utter failure of municipal leadership straight from the top.

@Anne
You are 100 % correct if the insurance companies find out about this they can raise your rates immediately or even cancel your policy.Insurance rates are based on a lot of things and working /non working fire hydrants can impact on your home insurance.

David,
If you sued the city, you would get nothing.
They have nothing to give. Or maybe they
would pay you in monthly payments
over 750 years.
