When the driver of Chevy suburban lost control on a patch of ice and crashed on mailbox of Harris on intersection of woodland Avenue and Royal crest drive in South Austin, Harris complains about an accident on "Austin American statesman" blaming city of Austin and Austin water department as cause. It is the responsibility of City of Austin and water department to figure out the cause for seeping out the water from underground. There is a saying “precaution is better than cure”, city of Austin should have been careful before an accident happened. Clear water is still running out from the valve cover and city of Austin showed out there for five times but they are not curious about the problem. Department spokesman Jill Mayfield said, “That is not water leaked from underground but it is rain water”. “There is no short solution to stop the water” said Lightsey, spokesman of watershed department.
“Every problem has its solution” so, there is no way to delay on the problem. In my opinion, cause of an accident is lack of show out by the city. If city shows this laziness then there are high chances of having big accident because the driver coming from the corner to turn on woodland cannot get the traction. City and watershed department should be responsible for any kind of accident occur there. Writer of this article “Ricardo Gandara” has clearly mentioned about this issue. “If there will not be control on the flow of water, then on couple days there will be traffic hazards” says Gandara. Gandara has clearly described about cause and effect giving threatens to the government. I am in favor of Gandara because he is adding public voice to the article describing about the accident, its causes and future affects. I think it would be better if city of Austin take this issue seriously and find some clue to be safe from future affect.
