Anyone immediately think of Pump Six, by Paolo Bacigalupi, when they got to this part of the story? > Salina Pacheco, who is the manager of the town water district and training to become a water system operator, knew it was coming. She had been talking to the five-member water board about it for two years and had helped secure a $105,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to upgrade the water system, which was suffering from “extreme water hammer” because water traveling through the pipes in opposite directions was colliding. > The pump failed in June, before the system’s planned overhaul.*
