ZOMG! I'm not going to provide any context for wha...

ZOMG! I'm not going to provide any context for what I'm complaining about, but instead jump right in, even though I've had no need to complain for the last however many years I've been here!!! They should fire everyone involved in this mess for letting us down and failing to predict things that are unpredictable. Everyone. Hire ALL new people with NO experience who don't know how to fix the problem so nothing can get figured out ever. Also, spent insane amounts of our, the citizens', cash money (that's right, cash money) so that we can have three times the necessary functionality, so that when we encounter this ONE event, that happens once every 99 years, we don't have to be inconvenienced. You know what, they should also create water that wipes me when I'm done going to the bathroom, too, so I don't have to do anything. ANYTHING! There is nowhere else that money could go, and our schools aren't facing an $18M deficit next year. Hashtag WatergateATX, bro! (Get it? WATERgate? Get it?)

Seriously, the recent flooding and boil water notice is a big inconvenience, but this happens, and I don't know what they could have done. The local government and community are coming together to try to assuage as much disruption of everyday life as possible in the face of unforeseeable natural occurrences. My rule of thumb: if you're going to complain, offer an alternative. Firing the only people capable of fixing it doesn't solve the problem. Thanks, Austin Water Utilities. I know you guys have mixed up bills in the past as well, but you're handling this pretty well, so thanks.
