The robocall gave the website so quickly and incoherently. It sounded like a bunch of random letters chosen from the can they use to select ballot position.

This thread is about the handling of this situation, not about the actual amount in the water. The city botched this horrendously.

First, they send out a text message warning residents to drink bottled water after 2pm. This was at 1:15 pm today. Some people didn't get it until a little bit later. That gave people 45 minutes to get their hands on a necessary resource.

They didn't say what type of chemical or what locations were affected, you had to go to the website....which then went down due to too much traffic.

Fights broke out all over the city over water, and stores couldn't handle the demand.

Then the city retracts their statement, says that the water is fine until March 26th at 11:59 pm. People still panic because the damage has already been done.

Also it turns out the spill was actually on Friday, and the burning smell all over the city yesterday night was the result.

Now they're calling to redirect to a website using a cracked out robot that can't even read the link correctly.

Hopefully you're right about the amount. But in another situation like this, potentially worse or immediately life threatening, is this the kind of handling that is acceptable?

Yep, my comment was off topic. Atleast you were constructively firm about your correction.

I didn’t get it until 5:50 PM. The first I heard of it was the post about someone saying they smelled something in grad hospital.

It is the city’s job to inform us. That is like one of their sole functions
