Seattle has failed to modernize it water infrastructure. I spoke with an engineer that moved from SoCal, where they are constantly in drought, to Seattle and he said the difference in water management was night and day. In those dry areas they are efficient by necessity. Everything is networked, monitored, and automated. If something goes wrong they can turn water off and try to address it remotely. In Seattle they will send someone hours out to the site to turn a spigot. The younger people at the bottom know the system can be improved, but this is not encouraged. By younger I mean 10 years of experience. Those at the top have achieved sinecure through seniority and have no interest in rocking the boat. The good people eventually leave.
