since the road was torn up some people lost various utilities, some for unacceptable periods of time, like those described by Jack, with the utility provider not effecting a repair, because of the state of the road/riverbanks etc. How would you feel about it in the uk if they did it to you?
Two things I'd add I thought the 'new' Mayor was going to do something about this back in March election period? Might be worth a mail to his office?
Secondly coming from a telecoms background I do recall customers being out of service for up to three months because of BT, and in one case the customer had no service for I've months. So it is, sadly, not just Turkey.
