Jamel Laneé at NBC5/WPTV and excellent news segment in City of Lake Worth

Jamel Laneé at NBC5/WPTV did a segment about a large tree, a homeowner in Lake Worth (on North 'C' St), and a City water line. On the face of it sounds like a non-story but it's actually not. This topic is very important in the City due to the vast amount of water lines that need to be replaced. In College Park for instance (in the northeast part of the City), many of the City's water lines run through easements between houses on a block instead of being located in the street. Many of these easements have large trees now. 

Mayor Pam Triolo recently addressed the issue of the aging water lines and you can read about that here. Very soon this will be a major topic of discussion.

I encourage all my readers to watch this segment and share it with your neighbors. Do you know where the water line is that services your home? You might want to find out before you plant that next tree. Could end up costing you a lot of money down the road.
