It has been three weeks and one day since I contacted Pennsylvania American Water about the growing hole in the sidewalk in front of my house. As you can see from the previous pictures, all they have done is come out and put a sign over the hole. They could have at least filled it with gravel if they're too 'busy' to fix it. Come on - this is getting rediculous. They've told me that it has been escalated as a matter of urgency; I somehow fail to believe that.
In fact, while walking to the bus stop the other day (which is basically just through my backyard), I come to find they (PAW) have the road closed. I jokingly said to one of the guys (who appeared to be in charge; he wasn't doing anything) that after they're done there to come up and fix my sidewalk. He said if they had time, they'd come up and try to put some gravel in it. I didn't expect much - they certainly couldn't repair the sidewalk properly, they didn't have the right equipment.
Obviously, they didn't have time:
I even have a video for your enjoyment:
