(mopar250 @ Sep. 05 2007,23:21) I have been on a local fire department in a couple of towns and done some of our billing, and if it is the same as my community you shouldn't get charged. You as a home owner/resident have the rights to the services of your community. But, say a Walmart truck is in town and dumps some diesel, they would most likely get a bill. Not that it is that way everywhere, but here it is. I have recently moved to where I am now (2 years) and am living in town now. I grew up on a farm outside of town, and even rented a trailer house and 5 acres when I was in Oklahoma for college. But, my wife and I bought a house in this little town because it was cheap and we will only be here for around 4 years total. I CAN NOT WAIT TO MOVE!!! To the south of me is about a 40 year old school teacher. Never married, no kids, no anything. He doesn't bother us at all, but he kind of creeps me out. The guy seriously has never had a visitor in 2 years! Never says hi or anything. My other to the north is about 70. He and his wife are retired. They are the biggest pains in the rears I have ever met in my life. When we bought this house everyone kind of gave me that your screwed chuckle when they talked about them. He mows a strip of my yard every time they mow grass. At 6:30 in the morning. They roundup a 3 foot strip of grass on the property line next to his garage. 3 foot of MY yard. He has a small tractor and plows the alley behind my house in the winter. Guess where all that snow gets pushed? Right in front of my garage door. We just had 9 inches of rain 2 weeks ago in about 2 days. He goes to town and gets himself an additional sump pump for his basement. He puts the output hose on our property line pointed right at my basement window (our houses are only about 12 feet apart, so about 6 feet from my house)!!!!! Guess where all the water went? My wife works 3-12 hour shifts a week (12a to 12p), I work 10's (1a to 11p). He did this about 2 in the afternoon. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. I also have the contract with the town to plow the snow on the city streets in the winter (small town, 500 people, no city street department). This joker is of course my biggest critic......... I'll stop there. I could go on for hours, and I'm starting to get mad just writing this.
I hope your deal works out for you. I know it can be very trying. At least I know I don't have much longer here (and the old man has a bad ticker!)
) This is why my neighbors are hundreds of yards away through wooded areas. And yes I can wizz off my front porch *
