" "The plumber is the cheapest of the things to be done. " "I should have probably double-checked, sometimes when I think someone is doing some- thing I think it's done and I couldn't gain access to the house. " "The tenant has since left. " "I have no idea where he has gone. " Mr. Doherty questioned how this Board discovered, after issuing the order, that Mr. Halpern was still not hooked-up. Mr. Evans responded, "I am not sure how that came about. " Mr. Halpern stated, "What happened is that the tenant did not pay his electric bill and they shut his electricity off. " "I had no knowledge of this and I would not have any knowledge of this. " "I heard they were getting water from a neighbor. " "As soon as I found this out and as soon as you ordered me to hookup I immediately hooked-up.

" "This letter is after that entire process. " "Your payment to the Water Dis- trict is also after that entire process. "
