It has been a little while since the North Fourth Springs did anything but sit in the middle of the sidewalk and leak. The story is the same and telling it again won't make it any different. Yesterday late morning was overcast, but the rain had taken a temporary halt. Lake Fourthpuddle is bounded by the set of concrete blocks. The barrier still sits in the grass off the sidewalk. I don't know what good it does there, but that's where it is. This view looks east across Lake Fourthpuddle to the North 4th Spring which you can see in the view under the barricade. The ground is really soggy and will stay that way for a while.

Got some news from the city yesterday. When I posted the Facebook link to the blog, DK shared it with his public list and it made it to the city water department. Tim Holdeman of the water department informed DK that the city knew about the leak and that the property owner is responsible to fix it. The city has to give the property owner two weeks to get it repaired before stepping in to do whatever it is they do. The two weeks will be over on Monday, so the spring may cease to exist pretty soon. The news kept me from writing, but, if anybody was curious, it made sense for me to let the word out. So something happens about the Spring on 9/12.
Just so you have a picture from today, here's a 6:15 from west of the spring and lake and facing east. The shadows project out across the street as the sunny part of the day gets ready to come to its end.

Y'all come back now! Hear?
