Nice 911 Center

State of the Art, right? Hardened against a nuclear attack? Redundant and backup systems galore?


And it gets even better:
  • City told OEMC the water would be shut off for 8 hours on Sunday (when all the bosses & admin personnel are rdo), set up port-a-potties outside and gave employees bottled water that was clearly from the Horseshoe Casino in Indiana and had expiration dates from 2015
One good snowstorm and no one is taking a bathroom break.

Recently in the 1st District the entire plumbing system was down for several days. No toilets, showers, fountains, sinks or urinals could be used. Signs posted everywhere stated “If you need to used a restroom go to another station” and no portapotties were made available. Luckily it is now a bit chilly out otherwise that area under the Commander’s office window may be wafting in some nasty ass smells.

That HorseShoe Casino water has been lasting years for police events, I've seen that crap at so many police events, including the Cubs Championship to keep us hydrated, the shit expired years ago, and the department still gives it to officers, how damn degrading (and health code violation?)
The same city that is handing the expired water out, is the same city that fine$ stores for selling expired food and drink. The city of Hypocrisy.

There was no hand washing station either which is required by OSHA. Also , big sick call in on 3rd watch required 2nd watch personnel some of who hadn’t gone to the bathroom since 1100hrs (when they locked the bathroom stalls and taped the doors) to be mandated an additional 4 hours until 1800.

For being the 3rd largest (we are 3rd now, aren't we behind NY and LA?) city in these United States, where taxation (without true representation) is overwhelming for most of the middle class taxpayers who live/work here, this city has the most ineffective, inept, corrupt
concept on "how to make things work".......bridges decaying before your very eyes, potholes the size of burial plots on our streets, lights in the neighborhoods constantly out, plumbing in the buildings not working, bedbugs/lice/roaches infested in public buildings, city giving donated expired water to its city staff members, the list could go on and on....
Where has all the money gone? Who has the contracts to FIX these things? Does 9 1/2 drink expired water? Does 9 1/2 have to do #2 in a porta-potty? Is he really thinking he is going to run again and get re-elected? How far down does this city have to sink before someone comes in and takes control? Or is "Detroit -redux" our only destiny?

I can remember heating water in a bucket, then squatting in a bath tub with a coffee cup so I could take a bath. Couldn't drink the water there either, but again, it was a third world country. You're not alone Chicago, lots of blue states are following your example!

I like that double-wide.
Lots of room for a hobo to spread out.

First thought was that’s some major plumbing job to shut of the main.
Then I was told they were flushing the summer water and installing a winter grade before the $5 a month 9-1-1 surcharge takes effect.
That’s efficiency Chicago-style.

Then there’s the cynical side of me that says something of great scandalous political value was shredded, flushed and had clogged the sewers.
Or maybe it’s just winter water and I’m overreacting.

Lets go news people. Hey Ch 2, 5, 7, 9, 32 does one of your station bosses have the boss to show this on the pm news? Ask what city clout contractor did the work on these buildings. How much they rapped the city of millions of dollars to put in cheap ass material and had unqualified men working on these projects. Of course they had to hire the percent of blacks & Mexicans who don't know a wrench from a pillar, but had them do the installation.

****** If that expired water was distributed to the shitbirds at the DOC, they'd be winning millions in a lawsuit against the county for cruel unjust treatment and negligence. But since its only police officers, nobody gives half a shit. And by the way, the plastic containers used for those water bottles is a cheap grade only meant for one-time use. After a short period of time, the chemicals in the plastic begin to leach into the water and contaminate it. All of it contains carcinogenic and hormonally disruptive compounds.

Casino probably donated it because they didn’t want to sell or give it to their customers. Then probably took it as a loss deduction or charity deduction on their taxes

Always have someone making the “water doesn’t work expire” comment. After a certain amount of time passes, the plastic permeates and thus taints the water leaving a noticeable bad taste.

According to the all knowing Google: Although water, in and of itself, does not go bad, the plastic bottle it is contained in does "expire," and will eventually start leaching chemicals into the water. This won't necessarily render the water toxic, but it might make it taste somewhat less than "mountain spring fresh."Jun 9, 2010

Bottled water is sold with an expiration date on the label, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t still drink it once the date has passed. This video explains how water can potentially become undrinkable, and when it’s safe to drink otherwise.

If you’ve ever left a glass of water out overnight and taken a sip the next day, you probably noticed that it tasted a little funky. You might suspect that the water started to spoil, but this video from the DNews YouTube Channel explains that the funky taste is actually because the water was exposed to air, making it slightly more acidic and become the home of things like dust and microbes. It’s probably still safe to drink for another day or so as long as it wasn’t outside, but it will continue to get more gross over time.

Bottle water, however, keeps dust, oxygen, and microbes from getting to it. That means, according to the CDC, bottled water can be safe to consume for a very long time as long as it’s stored out of direct sunlight (or high heat), kept away from pesticides and gasoline, and the bottle isn’t compromised. Essentially, you can ignore the expiration dates on your bottled water; just make sure it was stored safely (and that you’re getting enough every da

It’s the plastic that expires. It leaches chemicals into the water.
