The residents also mentioned that they have informed their Assembly member about the issue but have yet to see any action taken.

“We brought the issue to our Assembly Member, who said she would investigate. She later informed us that there was a reported problem and that one of their machines was broken. We visited the waterworks, and they promised to fix it but haven’t done so yet. We need water. If the pump is broken, they need to replace it,” another resident explained.
