Ditch Work Needed

Dear Editor:

  It won’t be long now until the road in front of 641 Wise Street (Old Hwy. 315) just inside the By-Pass, will be filled with vehicles going to the Watermelon Carnival.

  The first thing they will see will be the street ditch along Wise Street as they enter Water Valley. This is a major eyesore inside the By-Pass. I do my best to keep my lot looking good, especially at this time.

  I don’t know of any other streets with steep runoffs that have an unsightly ditch such as this one. I have talked to the Water Valley Street Department and to Mayor Larry Hart as well.

  I am not only losing my yard as it caves off in the ditch, but it is not sending a very good message to our visitors. Our City workers are generally good, hard workers, and I appreciate them all.

  Thank you for your time.
