Salisbury Massachusetts beach town won't turn water on at seasonal homes

fair do's

Bolt cutters will cut the locks off the meter.

They own the home. Paid taxes on it so Fook them!

Turn it on urself...

In my OP, the Libs are blaming Republicans and Trump for the spread

I remember hanging out there with friends when Salisbury Beach was fun. We loved the rides and there was so much to do.

You're right, it's a trashy place now- we don't go there anymore. They took all the fun stuff away there and built condos, the beach is always filthy and dirty.

They have a state park there to which has more rules than a jail- after they close down for the night, no one is even allowed to walk on the state park beach, and believe me, they will kick you off as someone is always there to bust anyone having a good time.

maybe ONE innovative person can figure out how to turn on the water and spread that info around
and even override their meters.

screw them and their bs

The town is not telling you that you can not come to your summer home. They are saying that the water company is only doing essential work and that does not include setting meters for your water. I paid taxes for years on a piece of land that I could not get water on. Why? Because they won't put the water in if there is no electricity to the place along with the electrical inspection that you have to have to show the water company you are in compliance. And we won't even talk about what I had to go through to get a septic tank put in. So if you want to go sit in a house without water or electric, no one is stopping you. But you will not be that comfortable if there is no running toilet. Outhouses are not what they are made out to be and depending on where you are, they might even be illegal.

Second houses usually belong to rich or well off people that have attitude problems. In good times, you overlook the snobby assholes. But in a crisis, you really don't want to put up with their shytty attitudes of "me first" infantile ways and locals be damned. Be lucky they are not burning your "second", "vacation" home to the ground to keep you at your primary home. They could be doing that instead of just restricting the water. LOL Yeah, I've thought about it as a kid when I lived in one of those type of towns where the rich had "second vacation/summer" homes. They suck donkey dicks IMO.

If they want to go that bad, they can always ship in some water, like they do in some places in the USA so they can have water, and they can get a composting toilet to set up. They should have the cash as after all, this is a "second" house and those usually cost ya to upkeep and all that mess. So get with the program. Buy a composting toilet or a bucket and a hole in the ground or stay home like everyone else is doing. "Summer" people are not "special" people no matter how much they want to believe they are. LOL Besides, those little summer towns don't have the same supplies in the winter as they do in the summer. And if the summer folks show up early, they bitch about the lack of stuff they are used to and the supply chain in not up and running for the summer time yet. They will use up the supplies and everyone will run short of things they need or want. And you might find that there is no postman yet because if half the houses are empty during the winter months, there is no need for that postman to work during the winter is there?

IMO, the "second/vacation" home people will come to town looking for fun and entertainment they can not get in their primary home. This makes them dangerous. Why can't they stay at their "real home" instead of their vacation home? They are basically the same. Roof over head, toilet, food. What's different except location? Stay home!!! You will be blamed for any and all deaths in that town if there is no sickness before you arrived. And some people might not take that nicely.

Damn rich people are past stupid and edging on retarded aren't they? LMFAO

No there's not. If there is no water meter, there is no screw to turn. LOL Good try though. LOL

Sell that shit and buy something in another state that doesn't run your life!

Tell them why as you go!

There are pvc and pipes for that

As an observation, people that do a lo/ of tuning on their vehicles use "test pipes" to reduce backpressure by removing the catalytic converter. One wonders if there is a test pipe for water meters...

It's so sad that so many NUTS don't understand the reason for this, and why it's a good idea.

Keep earning your Darwin awards people! Sign a waiver that you won't seek medical treatment if you get Corona, and that you will pay expenses (ALL expenses) for those you unnecessarily infect, and then do whatever you want.

Selfish bastard whiners who can't stay still for a little while longer..


so sad!

What I have found out in life is that the utilities are assholes. If you turn your electric or water back on when it's been shut off or they will not connect you, first they put a "wire" on it. When you cut that off, they put a "lock" on it. If you cut off the "lock", you will no longer get any service from them without paying out the ass for it. And sometimes, they will not even allow you to pay for it at all and just cut you off. The utilities are not federal, state or locally owned in most places. They are commercial businesses that are just like any other business in that they will cut you off and not give you service anymore.

I've watched people (with children) freezing because of no heating even though there are laws against cutting off heating in the winter. Last frost date and you are cut off and if you haven't paid that bill by the next winter, they won't cut you back on until it's paid. Even if you have children. They don't have to. By law, they are not allowed to "cut you off" but if you are already "off", it's not their problem. LOL

Cheap bastards should have paid the small monthly fee to keep their meters in and paid someone a small monthly fee to go around and check on the place every so often to make sure there are no leaks and such going on, squatters. What's wrong with people? Cheap asses...

A well, septic, and solar. Problem solved.

So they only pay taxes for when they open the seasonal homes ? GTFO !

I lived without running water for years big deal.Haul it in.

Who knows ? There is more than likely an ordinance that says you can't have a well or drill for one.

Nobody will know, neighborhood is empty and inspectors are not essential.

I don't think you understand how a virus works, the virus doesn't give a shit about your taxes, slowing people mobility slows the virus spread, just put this in your head once for all, and you should be fine.

its just the flu you retard

I'm damn proud of where I live! We got a solid F in all categories. lol

Hell I think more people are out than even normal. Traffic has been terrible! lol

Screw WHO. Screw the CDC. Screw anyone who believes this lockdown is a good idea. I'm taking a shower and heading out. Gonna be a good day to be around people!

what brain?

It amazes me how you people think you're some kind of an expert now cause you read shit on the internet. You fail at life loser.

We live with viruses everyday, staying isolated is setting us all up to catch something as our good bacteria and flora diminish

Statistically, your at more risk from grocery/pharmacy shopping, carry out food and life sustaining abortions then you are from traveling to your second home

the degree of risk is irrelevant.... if in a storm, you want to drive to your property to secure it, they don't stop you.


this is overreach for tyranny's sake

Where are you? Im living in the midget mike dewine democRat repulik and need a haircut.

Fauci, Birx, MSM, CDC and WHO, all of whom got this completely wrong from the start, is who they are listening too

It shows why extreme Dems keep getting elected, the voters are all in la la land drinking up their BS

Then tell the city, they won't pay fill taxes if they refuse to open water. Count the days they wont turn it on and refuse to pay taxes for those many days!
