300,000 people without water.
I pay $6G per year in property tax.
Water is about the only thing I demand for that. After 3 days at $6G per year, I’m complaining - at least.
I am more intrested that if a berm was created to prevent this from happening. How was it breached. And if it was a deliberate act of domestic terrorism to muck up our water supply would we ever know?

They don’t have moonshine they can use for now?
“It’s only been three days and they’re already complaining.”
You would think that something really bad happened to these people and their water supply had been contaminated.
bottled water, bird baths, drinking other beverages, cooking foods that don’t need a lot of water, all sorts of options. and it’s only 3 days. i would miss my hot tea but that would be an annoyance.
On Monday, when we had a high of -18, and windchills in the -50’s, I was driving home from work at night and saw that work crews had dug holes in the roads big enough to lose a car in, and they were out there with spotlights freezing their tails off trying to repair something. When I got home I asked dad, who works in the same building as the department that coordinates those crews, and as I suspected they were fixing a broken water main. In fact, he said that water mains were breaking all over town. I asked him if there was water set aside in case our water main broke.
His answer: “No, why would we do that?”
I would have facepalmed if not for the fact that I had both hands under the cat trying to thaw them out. After much convincing, we finally got about 5 gallons of drinking water set aside. It turned out we didn’t need it, but I certainly felt better having it.
This is the same guy who thinks canned food spoils after a month, and that there is never any reason to have more than 2 boxed of dried pasta in the house. God help us if anything serious happens before my house is built!
(Sorry for the rant, I just needed to vent a bit.)
Though the toxicity of the contaminant, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, appears relatively low in limited lab tests, and there don’t appear to be any medical issues related to the spill thus far.
Oh you’ll never miss the water till the well runs dry
You’ll regret each and every time you’ve made me cry
You’ll never miss me darling till I say goodbye
Oh you’ll never miss the water till the well runs dry

You could make a fortune if you went there with a semi full of Big Berkey water filters.
Can we get a prepper ping?
Boy wish we had a conservative Columbo...one more thing...
Is there anyone else who thinks this was done on purpose? I do.
