The reservoir was offline because it was not able to maintain the sanitary requirements needed to store safe drinking water. As we learn how global warming is rapidly increasing the frequency and severity of wildfires, and is now creating conditions that result in devastating fires in mid-January, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate the longtime practice of using potable water reservoirs to fight this type of wildfire. The solution might be to establish non-potable reservoirs that could be used in an emergency. They would be much easier to keep online year-round. An evacuation notice for any given area would have to be accompanied by a boil notice for drinking water, as the larger, non-potable reservoirs were valved in to fight a wildfire. That event would have to be followed with a procedure to sanitize the lines afterwards, which would be costly, but nowhere near as costly as the fires that would be prevented. What do you think?
