I live in a part of town affected by one of the pump outages. In any other city in the country this would be shocking and whatnot. Here it’s an opportunity to lampoon the local government because that’s all we have.

It's also just false outrage generated by media that wants to shock readers.

The reality is that, from the article...

>Other nearby stations are expected to have enough capacity to pick up the slack

At the individual pump level...

> 96 out of the S&WB’s 99 main drainage pumps are ready for Ida.
