>>So in Y2K St. Louisans should still be able to drink beer. But, they may be forced to flush in the dark. <G><<

You bring up an interesting point. I wonder if your water district treats the water before shipping it to you and if they do does the treatment process require electricity? Additionally, I suspect the sewage plant requires electricity in order to treat what you've flushed.

Yes I agree, water flows downhill and will continue to so after Y2K according to Newton's Regulations 1, 2 and 3. There are some Riparian edicts that forbid frivolous uphill hijinks under thermodynamic penalty also. This downhill direction is concomitant to the direction some city water billing systems will go as well if they don't get their OS's fixed fast.

Exactly. Water is very low tech and they are way behind the technology curve for the most part.
