Looks more like usual incompetence than anything else, the day before the big July 4th on the DC Mall.

When will KJP claim it was drinking the DC water that caused Bi-Done’s poor performance at the debate?

Terrorist attack on the DC water system? Think about it …where would terrorists do the most harm to this nation? 9-11 they struck the pentagon.. makes you wonder.

In 2003, I was granted a low level security clearance from a US Fed agency I won’t name. I will now say, DO NOT EVER DRINK PUBLIC TAP WATER or ICE. That means restaurants, too. Oh, and 95% of the first fires are purposeful..but most people here know that.

What happened (Background)

On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, DC Water was notified by the Army Corps of Engineers Washington Aqueduct that due to turbidity the Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant reduced production and all water treatment operations were being conducted at the McMillan Treatment Plant. The current water treatment must be adjusted to meet current water demand for all our customers. To ensure there is enough water for firefighting activities, the Aqueduct resumed pumping water from the Dalecarlia Treatment Plant Wednesday evening. We anticipate the water could have increased turbidity and therefore providing this cautionary boil water advisory.

Is this an answer to the prayers of the righteous?

“Dear Lord, deliver a deadly plague as Divine Justice directly to the wicked multitude in their serpent lair.”

DEI hires to run public works like water, sewer, utilities, and infrastructure. Those systems are financed by issued minicipal bonds. They are in violation of their fiduciary obligations. Lower their bond ratings immediately. Do the same to every city, county, and state that fails to hire qualified and licensed engineers and millwright plumbers, pipe fitters, steam operators, electricians, and facility operators. This is where it stops.

Actually, Flint was “2.0.”

Look up “D.C. Water Crisis.”

Don’t feel bad: I didn’t know anything about it either until researching my book.

My original comment was going to be “DC Water Crisis 2.0.”

Funny /s:

After writing my book about the water one of my top BLACKLIST items in the other book became, “municipal tap water.”

Turbidity doesn’t infect you with anything. It just tastes really bad.

I don’t get this.

“He had a bad night.” (It’s a good thing I didn’t have to drink every time she said that. I’d have been snockered.)
