3. The 'multiple' throws me too.

First thought was some kind of hack got to the control system and jacked up pressures to cause weak distribution elements to fail.

I'd be the first to admit I know little about water delivery systems and how they're controlled — as well as my little theory sounds pretty kooky.

Still, multiple failures at once seems unusual.

I'm sure MTG is all over this.
