None the less, it is a HUGE challenge to deal with actual real structural disinformation, e.g. Russian troll farms, which will now be back in style and probably 10x as worse as it was before.

A reservoir being disconnected sounds to me like a significant infrastructure issue… pipeline broke , valves out of service, etc. those problems usually can’t be fixed quickly and often times components take several months or longer to get if they’re not standard ‘off-the-shelf’ sizes/configurations. But surely she would have had ample to time address all of those issues in her extended period of employment which spanned a whopping 7 months.

How about the lack of new reservoirs being built since the passage of Prop. 1 in 2014? SURE that must fall on Democrat leadership in the State. Why were the meager existing reservoirs not filled? How about the mayor slashing the budget of the fire department? How about the miles of paperwork needed to clear brush? You're right, no blame to go around. EVERYONE has an excuse.
