The township is under a water boil advisory. They decided the way to inform people was on the website, through phone if you have a phone on your water account, through a system no one knew existed, or Facebook.
They’re offering a case of water per household for free though!
That announcement was only through Facebook. Great. All gone.
Around my place when they were digging up the neighborhoods water lines they literally left a note on your door.
Around a neighborhood is one thing. An entire town could be a hell of a lift, not to mention that there are still problems with notes on doors (I usually go in and out through my garage; the front door is rarely used)
They leave two here. One saying there is a boil advisory and another after the tests come back saying it’s safe.
Boil water advisories are often immediate - like a check valve has failed unexpectedly and there is, this very instant, a risk if sewage in your tap water.
Hard to mobilize a city-wide door-to-door campaign with such urgency.
As a secondary option, sure. But it’s not always like a planned-for-months water main replacement.
The four channels OP listed do seem inadequate though.
