Seems we’re taking a for sure outage during peak demand to avoid a maybe outage.

My understanding is the two main factors are that the system is already flushed and ready to go, saving a ton of time and money. And some of the areas might not be easily accessible so you can't just sit on the spots until there's an issue.
Imagine how upset we'd all be to go through all this then in 4 months we have to do it all again. It's definitely a bit of a lose-lose but I'd rather bite the bullet now
