That's a good story and a great point, but remember that it's unprecedented for 311 to charge Muni for the service (and I'd bet they don't charge DPT for every report of a leaky hydrant).
The entire city is feeling the squeeze of a $500M+ budget deficit, but the question is: which department is absorbing the cuts and which is passing the buck?
