You think they aren't having the exact same conversations with businesses that they did last time?
That would be a literal drop in the bucket. Barely worth mentioning. How many potable water trucks are even available in the city?
Agreed that this should be happening.
The previous shutdown happened when river levels were higher, so they could have flushed the system after the fixes. We're now into lower levels and it won't be going back up, so they won't be able to do that which is why they're talking about it this time.
How do you enforce indoor residential water usage? I think the best they can do is ask and that's about it.

. For smaller deficiencies you can make a meaningful difference. If you need to make 10 million liters that’s 10,000 m^3 at 40m^3 per truck that’s 250 trucks say 3 hrs per load is 30-35 trucks required. 10,000m^3/day of fluid hauling is not an unreasonable amount when you had 2 months to prep.
Remember the consequence is a 3 month boil water order. If the difference between 485 and 500 is as meaningful as they have made it out to be in the press conference then marginal cubes matter and trucking should be being done.
Essentially if the risk is as high as being presented then more should be being done.
To mitigate indoor water usage you shut off individual homes/groups in areas reaching critical states. You sacrifice parts of the city to preserve the overall system so that the flush requirements would be kept within feasible amounts.
I guess my general point would be the consequence of the outcome being discussed is inconsistent with the mitigations being discussed. Or the repair plan is wreckless. I believe the people doing this work are competent. The plan would not be hope and pray.
