Lindrick Service Corp. is the only utility available where I live in New Port Richey for water. Their rates are reasonable (though if the buyout goes through I hear this won't be the case in the future). However, on numerous occassions, including today, they'll work on updating/replacing their water pipes, and the water will turned off - WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING to residents. In addition, 98 out of 100 times when you call them to discuss bills or other issues, you get a busy signal. It is UNFORGIVABLE as a business in this day and age not to have an answering service or voicemail of some sort so that customers can at least leave a message, or so you can record a message that gives residents information when water mains are turned off. Also, they don't have a website or list an email address, so there is no alternative way to contact them. Shame on them for being stuck in the 1970's and offering terribly, terribly poor outbound communications to their customers.
Pros: Reasonable rates
Cons: Only water company available
