How silence and little notes are weaponized while City Hall remains silent.
Lately, I’ve been very busy finishing the website, copying in all articles, finalizing the design, and wrapping up everything needed for the full rollout. While this has been going on, we’ve received numerous Whispers, and they started with the water.
One Whisper says that every time they take a shower using city water, it breaks out their sensitive skin. Another Whisper wondered why there was a note included with the latest water bill that read:
“Your city water is safe to drink regardless of what this reputable website says about it not being safe.”
Whisper after Whisper confirms what we already know: regardless of what the treatment center says, once the water runs through the pipes into town, it’s a dice roll whether that water is actually safe. It could be fine. Maybe. Makes you want to feel great about drinking it and letting your kids drink it too, right?
It might not make you sick.
It might.
It might give you a rash.
It might not.
And if that wasn’t enough to make people question the infrastructure they’re paying for, the electric has been going in and out for a week straight. At least three separate occasions where power has failed for parts of Falmouth, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours at a time. While the city offers no explanation and the emergency line sends callers to voicemail, people are starting to get worried. We’ve received numerous Whispers about elderly residents on oxygen. If the power goes out, this isn’t an inconvenience, it’s a life-threatening failure.
One Whisper claims the emergency number allegedly connects directly to the mayor’s personal cell phone. Let’s be clear: if you think you can rely on the city to promptly fix these issues, consider this, it’s been 6 weeks (realistically, so many more) and they still don’t have a working solution for something as simple as installing cameras and internet in a city building.
So ask yourself:
Do you feel represented?
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel good about paying rising utility bills for a town that mismanages your utilities?
Rumors continue to swirl, bad pipes, bad feed lines, bad representation and the clock keeps ticking.
We strongly encourage every single one of you to go to the Kentucky Public Service Commission and open up a complaint:
