re: #68 retired cynic

I meant while it is empty and under repair.

My guess is that the entire town is being fed direct by the well pumps. That’s why they’ve got the pressure relief valves attached to the hydrants, to deal with any transient spikes caused by switching latency. If I recall correctly they already have individual reverse osmosis machines in every house instead of a centralized purification plant and I think they’re still on a boil order because the disrepair was letting insect pests from a nearby farm operation pollute the water inside the tower.
