Thank you for the updates. A request for Heritage Estates… Would someone sometime they’re going past please stop at the box labeled 5082 on the corner of Colonial and Village lane court to prop it back up. It’s leaning and takes away from the look of the street. No rush, just want to keep our street looking nice. Thank you.
Hi Julie, we will make a note in our system to take a look next time someone is in the area. Thank you for making us aware.
Hi Julie, we did have a team member check on the box you are referring to, and it is not our equipment. Our best guess would be to check with DTE or Charter. Thank you!
