Free Water!
When the city spends money on construction, it gets bottom of the barrel results:
That's not a leak. That's a downpour inside the Annex at 18th and State.

That’s at 35th st. Fatheadceds office is right above the leak. That’s Hennessy overflow. He must’ve passed out when he was pouring it again
City's answer to low humidity. Stop complaining.
001st District Annex. It’s been leaking for almost two weeks now. It started as a drip and became a pour. The city that works.
Well, free water is a human right.
just sad.
they get the money from us.
then spend it on shoddy shit work.
they get more money from us.....
so it goes.
That must be a Chicago Police Station. There’s always water coming down from somewhere. Just don’t come in contact with it as a new study “Cancer-Linked Contaminants Found In Chicago’s Drinking Water” article appears in the Chicago Patch News. patch.com. 26 Oct 19. Wonder if this study will appear in that glossy flyer that the Mayor’s have been sending out to citizens for years on how pristine our water is.
Can someone please identify the contractors and construction companies that built that building and others that are literally falling apart after a few years? Of course, we know they are politically connected and there probably was graft involved in the bidding process. But, who are they? Is it union labor? At one time, an enterprising young reporter could get quite a story with some digging. Not anymore.
Been like that for a month. No hot water, fucking scum pit.
At the top of the opening near the light fixture there's one of those slick city flyers they printed up awhile back.
The subject: "How Your Sewer Works"
Shower power! Get the Whole Foods France Free Eco Safe (never tested on animals!) Shampoo ready!
Flint MI is jealous... Chicago's ceiling water is drinkable at least.
"The first Roman aqueduct was built for the city of Roma by censor Appia Claudius Caecus, hence called Aqua Appia, and operational in 312 bc"
312 BC... (get it- 312 Area code! Endless clever!) Yet in 2019, Chicago can't deal with water in modern buildings...
"Plumbing is hard! All that water and shit... No one can get it right! But it ain't like you need a license to do it or nothing!" ~ Nephew of Chicago Alderman who is a drywall hanger, and not a good one, who was tasked with the plumbing install and was paid a King's ransom for his effort.
Don't buy the hype... Sure the sign says free water but when I try to bottle it and sell it as authentic Chicago Indoor Nonstop Rainwater then I get treated like a criminal and told to cut it out... What a city.
It’s been leaking for almost two weeks now.

IT IS A FUCKING PILOT PROGRAM! It is not a leak... Just a test project.
If the data is good after the trial run is wrapped up, then the wetness protocol will be deployed city wide.
I hope there not metered? Could come out of Po-lice budget?
And you bet your ass that install was done by union workers making $60/hr. Thank God for the unions!
The Diagnosis:
My city plummer’ skills says that your water got lead in it.
So heavy so it’s falling out the cilling.
The Fix:
Gradually, in about 10 years the building is expected to lean another +/- 15° to the west.
All errant water will then be directed away from this corridor.
Please be patient.
Green Teen GretaThunberg Award:
Winner - 1st Dist Eng for their “End Global Thirst First” rain harvesting cooperative.
The Rigging:
That contraption (union installed I hope) looks like the same water system the Clinton Foundation (pre-Trump era) installed after the hurricanes in the Caribbean except they used blue tarps instead of Armstong 2x2 acoustical mineral fiber ceiling tiles as the gathering trap.
I only drink filtered water. At least a five stage reverse osmosis filtration process and then the water must be put into glass container, no plastic.
So... Does this water from above now in the annex count as filtered water?
There is a reason the low bider is the lowest bidder.
This is like 35th and Michigan where when the building was built the foundation did not reach bed rock and that is why the "tilt a whirl," building is always in disrepair. From bathrooms leaking water, rain water from parking lot coming into building tilted in if the janitors don't sweep it back, to the dock doors crooked edges not sealing, to the ghost opening desks that without wood under corners open by themselves. Then the gym area where years ago they replaced the round dumbbells with hex so the would not roll to the other corner of the room!
Faulty construction, paid-off democrats recipe for disaster, this entire state,county,city needs a massive enema!
The construction on CPD’s “newer” police station is some of the shoddiest construction you’ll find anywhere.
I guess it shows how much the 5th floor thinks of us.
This is just another quality union job.
Almost looks like one of the "office pops" from a few years back.
The whole station at 18th and State is sinking. Not level whatsoever. Stress cracks everywhere. Sink wholes are forming in the parking lot.
And who’s bright idea was it to build an elementary school right next to the Central Detention?
No surprises here.
No rain either soooooo is your tt poop water or water under pressure ? Gross if it was the Aldo creature or mayors crib it would be fixed or a school she likes those teachers I guess
The new building at 050, at the cost of around $9mil, has heating issues, along with the leaky roof three day’s after it opened, and the sewer backup into the building, complete with fecal floaters, on day 8. The men’s locker room might as well be outside, because there’s gale-force winds blowing in from the ductwork. Can’t wait to see what happens next week with the weather.
Chuck, 18th and State. Fix da roof.
That's not a leak. That's a downpour inside the Annex at 18th and State.

Rumor of the day is those are tears shed by all the useless inside house mice and desk dollies worried about their spots...
Another fine construction by Walsh Construction?
The mold needs to start somehow. The more water the better for it to grow. Leave the ceiling tiles, they will dry.

You mean bottom of the rain barrel correct?
Pussies! All that leaking water is good for the lights and electrical systems... Have to keep those wires lubricated you know...
CHICAGO FOR THE WIN! Fuck you Orlando! All your water-parks are outdoor, Florida. Losers!
The problem with using a big ol' trashcan to catch leaking water is that it weighs about 400 pounds when it's full.

Let’s name the biggest offender the biggest contributor to the elected Democrats Walsh construction.
Haz-mat.

A shorter walk.
Was it constructed by Walsh Construction or Kenny Construction?????

Has nothing to do with the 5th floor. Has to do with who the city is hiring to build the building. Contract requirements

With the city the lowest bidder ends up not being the lowest bidder. Shortly after the contract is signed the amendment come rolling in with excuses for more money

Dealt with Walsh for years on a business level and can tell you they are every bit the giant piece of shit you'd picture a big connected Chicago firm being. Bad enough they're grossly overpaid with tax payer money for their projects, they like to not pay their bills as well. Chicago values.
Did they take Charlie Beck through the annex and show him the great Chicago construction?

Newsflash! They aren’t fixing anything in schools. Word came down during the teachers strike that they won’t fix anything that isn’t life and death situation for teachers or students.
Also, you sound like you were 16 sheets to the wind when you wrote this. Do better.
NOTHING is free in this shitty City. The City, County, or State will still tax it.
Another Pizza Sauce construction job......

Translation: "I'm leaving headquarters. Keep me in mind for 5th Watch afternoons."
Is cousin Eddie’s RV still in the parking lot?
In a prison this would be inhumane treatment. They would say it's some kind of waterboarding facility.
Tomaso is gonna sell the tub of dirty water on eBay. It’s the mother load!
It's an old building now. These things happen.

Hence the two rules of Plumbing
1. Find the water shut-off and turn it off.
2. Shit flows downhill
Aldo you da man.
