PS to myself

I know Water Treatment and Sewage Treatment are different ... it was just the one on the list that fit “Public Utilities”
I have my own Deep Well and can draw water Manually if need be (not much but with a little manual labor enough to get by with)

You are right of course sewage treatment plant shut down can be as dangerous as water treatment plant shutdown. You are looking at any number of diseases with either. Most people have no idea of the complex systems behind both they just think water just 'magically' comes from the faucet and sewage just runs down the drain.

We are on utility water but want to get our 400’ well operational again, just in case. A manual pump costs about the same as electric, strangely. But I think that’s the way we’ll go.
