Why the fuck are these systems connected to the internet?
Worked utility for 25 years. About 2005 the SCATA system came out with internet connectivity to take the place of radio connection. It ment one less thing that had to be trained and lots of places got to drop a FCC bill as well. It stopped storm interference and constant antenna repair and realignment. Those towers and lift stations that are everywhere and no one pays attention to are all on net connections to the main office to tell them when to run how much pressure to run at and monitor for leaks.
So laziness trumps security?
Not really. The old system was less secure. All you needed to screw with it was a walkie-talkie capable of shortwave transmission and knowing where to stand. To take control over it would take some specific equipment but just making it fuck up was easy. We had one that was next door to a trucker and every weekend he was home his cb and leaner system would blitz the radio if he parked in one part of his yard.
I'd honestly say this is more a case of the right people over money not thinking anymore would do this. As no one HAD done it. Now that it's something that people know about it they'll probably fall over themselves trying to look like they were trying to fix it before the general public learned about it.
Never attribute to malice that which can be better explained by stupidity.
Very good point

I looked into this bc my hometown is treating the water, and everyone is complaining about the color & smell of our tap water. Municipality says it’s totally safe to drink & bathe in
Safe.....and Effective
Just like Early voting by Mail. Uh-huh.
The government is safer when the people are poisoned and too retarded to think. It's safe for them because people become too damaged to think properly.
Grew up in a town with really hard water. At some point the city started doing something to soften it at the municipal level and suddenly hot water taps began clogging with a goo. Back then the kitchen sink at least had a drinking faucet that was unsoftened, I believe.
