Once zero, we lose water pressure which is the big issue for fire fighting.

But another issue exists, which I think is the bigger one. Glenmore can process around 500ML a day. If we need more than that, they need to compromise processing, which means releasing less or unprocessed water into the system. Once this happens, we'd all be on boil water, and they'd have to flush everything before being deemed safe, which I think is a week or so process.

Going on memory from last time here, feel free to correct me. The 'ol pickle ain't what it used to be.

And that assumes that they have the water to flush. Not an expert but what I've seen is that if we run out we'll all be on boil water until the spring.
