Who is the MWRA?

MWRA made a personal call to everyone in the Metro Boston area on Saturday afternoon.

There is a catastrophic break in the water system. And then the message adds that you should boil all drinking water.

I save the message, hang up the phone, and then I freak. How in hells name will I explain a water break to Billy as the reason why he can’t brush his teeth, whirl the water all over his eyes and conduct all his water related routines? Maybe we should go on a road trip take a grooming hiatus or turn off all water sources. Fire emergencies and power outages are scripted but this blip is certainly not programmed on his device. Maybe I should develop a page entitled potential catastrophes.

Communication stories are not developed in a vacuum. So anyone who tells you that the communication pages are complete at any age should have their head examined.

Case in point.
