Yeah so remember the time when DeKalb residents were told that we needed to boil all of our water and lots of people didn’t shower or brush their teeth for two straight days?  Remember how Wheatley said he used astronaut shampoo to wash his wavy, red locks?  That was awesome…

So in regards to that whole fiasco, I’ve got some good and bad news…

The good news is that something like that shouldn’t happen again anytime soon for the same reason.

The bad news is that the county is paying upwards of $180,000 to RENT a diesel backup system, on top of the $165 mil we’ve already shelled out, to cover for the current fickle, sometimes defunct “high-tech” facility the next time it decides to power-off during a light shower.  Ah diesel…they sure don’t make ‘em like they used to, do they?

Oh also…if you’re like me, and are curious to know why the system failed, it had something to do with a “defect in the computer logic control”.  Now are we clear?  Good.  Will they be fixing this defect?  Who knows!
