Hydrant Issue in the Community_Jim Surkamp

Jim Surkamp, a county commisioner, was riding in the community passing out little buttons with his cell phone on it. There were several of my neighbors out with the kids on Avenel court and we asked him about why our hydrant had "out of service" on it. He explained that several hydrants in this community had issues.

He went on to say that he met with Valerie Hockensmith, the community manager and two members of the board, Mike Boyle and Caroline Barrett-Ballinger.

I have since investigated further and learned that the person who should be contacted about the hydrant issue Jane Arnette with the Charles Town Utility board. If you are having issues with your hydrant, please contact her.

Utility Manager, Jane Arnett

This is too serious an issue to wait. Please call her if you have low pressure or an out of service hydrant near your home.
