Having one line that can stop the whole system with a backup that isn't always available is not acceptable, IMO.

There's that, but city hall was screwed either way. IMO this was the better outcome for them.
Pre-emptive and people complain it's a waste of money for something that isn't potentially imminent (designed for 100 years, replace at 50. Waste of money).
But with the failure, the optics made more sense and more people are likely to be willing to accept the repair, inconvenience, timing and future proactive work.
