    " Hey City of Douglas... Glad to hear that you want us to conserve water, but you need to follow your own words.. For the last two weeks, there has been a faucet spilling out water in the women restroom at the 15th Street park by the water tanks... I guess if your employees would check the restrooms they would have noticed. I just used them yesterday and noticed that it was still spilling out the water.. Last time I was there was almost 15 days ago and it was also spilling out water... "Do as I say not as I do" should be the City of Douglas New Motto. Get it fixed please "
