water going to be coming from the spigot ?
This is what is frightening to me about Y2K -- everything is on the honor system and most of the time it is like this .... 1% respond and say "we are fine" so the media publishes headline telling everybody everything is fixed without asking any questions and of course nobody THINKS about anything.

excerpt-
The most recent detailed industry survey by the American Water
Works Association (AWWA), the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) and the National Association of Water
Companies (NAWC), shows that only 20 percent to 45 percent of
drinking water systems were Y2K compliant as of June 1999. Even these low numbers are optimistic: Of the approximately 55,000 U.S.
drinking water utilities, less than 1 percent have responded to an Y2K industry survey.
