As new residents of Lewes, we are still trying to get a handle on the local acronyms. However, after this past weekend, we’ll always think of BPW as the “Best People Working.” In the midst of (yet another) significant rain and windstorm Saturday morning, we suddenly lost power. It turned out to be an isolated event – only two houses were impacted – so we called BPW (aka the Board of Public Works) and got the answering service, to which we reported our issue.
Because we’d already had 2-plus inches of rain by that point and our sump pumps had been working overtime, plus there was a strong chance that we’d need to employ our Shop-Vac in the basement at some point soon, we were extremely nervous when we lost power. Imagine our relief when BPW showed up within 30 minutes of our call – and our new favorite person, Rhett, working solo on a weekend, braved the elements to elevate in the bucket to a nearby pole to restore our power within minutes.
So thank you, Rhett, and thank you, BPW, for providing outstanding service during what was an extremely nerve-wracking time for us. We appreciate you!

I am writing to thank your crew for the outstanding response to my sanitary sewer repair today. I had a brief conversation with Joey on Friday and he promised to be there today. When I arrived at about 11 o’clock this morning your crew was well on their way to solving my sewer clog problem. I can’t say enough about how professional and dedicated the crew of Joey, Eric, and 3 other guys on the job were. I hope you can find a way to express my appreciation for a job well done by your crew; who all worked together to not only get the job done, but also represented the City of Lewes well.
