This event isn’t political, but I will never get government that won’t put this information into the hands of people. People aren’t dumb.
Playing this obtuse boogieman to people, then letting pro sporting events go ahead, just sows distrust. Then people start to tune out, until water runs out. Then they are for sure grabbing pitch forks.

They aren't hiding this information. It's just a little too complex to distill into a tweet. I'm not on those social cesspools, but I suspect they are in fact linking to briefings like the one Ducay just posted...it takes a modest amount of effort to find more information if you want it.
And there is a balancing act in terms of how you present the severity of the situation. Presenting it as too dire can have counter-productive results.
The message is simple: conserve water. Not to the detriment of your health/hygiene, but eliminate all non-essential uses. This messaging applies to businesses in the same way as citizens...we opt-in if we're decent people.
