A Reminder of Those Quietly Serving Us

Dear Editor,
On Thursday night, February 17, our water shut down, but came on shortly thereafter with the “normal” blast of water. We then received an email from EBMUD letting us know what happened and they were working on it. Then EBMUD Director Frank Mellon, a friend and community leader, called to be sure we got the message and to check on us . . . then the next day around noon, an EBMUD worker, Paul Irvine, drove up our street checking with those who lived in the affected area to ensure that service was restored, and to answer any questions.
It would be so easy to simply take all three of these conscious actions for granted. Let’s never do that in the business of our days!
Blessings!
