[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure this has popped up in other threads, but anyone else frustrated at how poorly DC Water handled the recent boil water advisory? The communication was not timely or complete, nor was it broad and effective for a variety of groups (e.g. Spanish-speaking DC residents and those in the affected zone who don't pay a water bill because it's included in their rent).

WaPo is now saying it was [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/area-affected-by-boil-water-area-significantly-reduced/2018/07/14/fbab1bac-8760-11e8-8f6c-46cb43e3f306_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f89c144fc8b6]caused by human error[/url]. It may not be credible, but [url=http://oi64.tinypic.com/207nsc2.jpg]someone on PoPville wrote they saw a bunch of DC Water employees near the Bryant Street station slacking off and watching a motorbiker speed and pop wheelies around the time of the failure[/url].

If anything, this highlighted how unprepared DC, our nation's capital and a terrorist target, is for a real crisis. [/quote]
