The Small Utility Network received a call from a small water system concerned about the possible effects of the Y2K bug on their water systems. Topics discussed include: electrical power outages; interruption of service from suppliers of treatment chemicals; embedded systems in chemical pacing controllers; possible legal implications; importance of having a disaster plan in place. Other sources of information from AWWA on Y2K preparedness are given, along with results from a survey on Y2K preparedness.
