“The failure of two of the three pumps poses an existing or imminent threat to people and property as it impacts the availability of water for drinking and firefighting,” the declaration says.
As a person who used to run a water system for a small municipality I can assure you that the operators of this water system have likely been begging for years for funds to improve and maintain the system. In spite of how vital water and sewer systems are they are also out of sight and get less funding than parks.
make the people who approve funding to live in the same area, I am sure it will be more convincing.
side story: reminds me in the ancient time(mid 2000s) one of our server run on SCSI-card raid 5 and one drive started acting weird server was down, I said we have to have back up more often and get new server cause this server is out-dated and probably gonna be breakdown soon. I manage to bring the server back up with rebuild check and moving on(and tags the bad sectors etc). My requests sitting there for 3 months and I talked all the way up even directly to the business owner.(was RnD lead at that company, so I only have 3 levels of people above me. ) The eventual melt down incoming, the drives failed as predicted(the one that’s weird + another bought in the same time), we lost like one full month worth of work cause we don’t have enough tape to back up and they ration the tapes between departments. And then after that management spend way more to catch up and establish new server etc. “Told you this is gonna happen”, it was fun looking at them trying to talk their way out and find excuses.
