[RBS] shout-out for 106!

[Zvi Friedman]

I find it wonderful to see someone say something totally positive about our
City of Beit Shemesh and to show us all that part of the fault lies with
us.  Like most people I have noticed spots that are dirty and remain that
way for months but instead of calling the Iriyah to ask them to do
something, I just got upset over it.  Thank you Riva Pomerantz for
reminding all of us that the Iriyah is there for us and will do something
if we tell them where the problem is.  I guess we don't have to all move to
get something done, we just need to call 106.  I called today and look
forward to being the next person to give a "shout-out for 106!"  Kol
Hakavod Riva Pomerantz.

I am a frequent caller to 106, our "Shefa" department, and I have
consistently been impressed with their attention to problems. I called about
the broken bus stop on Nachal Sorek/Micha and shortly thereafter I noticed
it was fixed. I called about the terrible garbage overflow in Sorek Park and
when I went to check up it had all been cleaned. I called about a dangerous
situation on Nachal Mishmar and it was taken care of that day (they even
called me back to ask more details about the problem).



A short while ago I called 106 to report a big trash problem in an alley on
Sorek. This morning, I came upon two Iriya "pakachim" who had come to deal
directly with this problem! Our city does seem to listen to us-when we bring
problems to their attention! I encourage everyone to call 106 and report
problems when they notice them. We can all help make our city cleaner and
safer. BTW, they have been answering on the first ring-no delay, no on-hold
music!
