[StBernard] Water Deposit Refund

[Westley Annis]

Called the Water Department today, and got the same answer I received three
months ago on refunding water deposits.  While I realize I am only talking
of $75.00, it is past due and is preventing me from closing another chapter
in the book of Katrina.  
 
I am sure the people working there are as frustrated as we are.  As the lady
I spoke with told me, she could tell me that everything was in the computer
including the amount and my new address, but until they learned how to make
the new computer work, there was nothing they could do.  I asked her what
about the possibility of taking this information and just handwriting
checks.  She said that could not be done as they have no checks in the
office 
 
She also told me that it would be at least another 6 weeks before this is
done.  There must be some way that this can be done, and everyone could get
their refund and the employees would not have to keep taking all these phone
calls from people looking for refunds.
