Kudos to Frankfort village workers

Chicago Daily Southtown - 2/17

In June of 2002 we moved to the village of Frankfort. As soon as we moved in to our house we noticed the water pressure was horrible; my husband happened to mention it when he went to pay the water bill. The girl told my husband that maybe the water meter was old and she would send the water department out to check it. They came out, were there at the time promised, replaced the meter and blew out our water lines from the house to the street. After that our water pressure was like night and day.

I appreciated them then but after today, I can't even tell you how much I need to thank them. My husband, two small children and I have been suffering with a severe stomach flu that has plagued us for four days now. My 3 year old was at the hospital Monday and my husband is in there now. I can't catch up with the amount of clothes, sheets, towels and blankets that we've changed and need to be washed. So for the time being all that sits on the floor of my laundry room.

I went down this morning to try and start some laundry to find my laundry room and everything in it covered in sewage. I immediately called the village as they've been working on the sewer pipes in our neighborhood the past few weeks. A man from the village, Jack Camilleri, came to the house to look at the problem only to discover it wasn't a village problem; our ejector pump became disconnected. He was so courteous. He got a clamp from his truck and fixed the problem for me. He didn't need to do that but he did and didn't think twice about it.

I'm sure he thought I was a crazy lady and actually after the week I've had, I am. But I just wanted to thank the employees of the village of Frankfort, who really do make this a nice place to live.
