And speaking of problems with water systems in major metro areas see chicagotribune.com
Notice the second paragraph re: city and suburban water purification systems. Keep reading further in the article to the section on "Water, gas and power." Notice that "water" is the single biggest issue that concerns Chicago's y2k boss. Now notice that the City of Chicago just brought in consultants to inventory and asses the water system this past December. Further notice that they won't finish the job until March of this year and only THEN they will know how big the problem might be. I suspect that the City of Chicago falls into that 70% of providers with service connections in excess of 1 million that does NOT have contingency plans for internal or external failures...since it doesn't seem to have much of a remediation plan at all to begin with.
