THE EDITOR: Last week, I called WASA to complain that Noel Trace, St. Augustine (Gordon St. booster) had had no water for four days. I was duly informed that such was not possible since Noel Trace was on a schedule.

I dare WASA to publish the schedule for my section of Noel Trace. Perhaps someone turned off the stopcock at the Noel Trace/Santa Margarita intersection.

However, over the last five years, when there is no water, the main culprit is loss of the wells at Valsayn Trace No. 1.

It is time that WASA acquires new equipment instead of having customer service reps accuse the public of lying. Why, I ask, would I lie about my lack of water?
