While I have to agree with keeping such information from the public, it also should be stated that the water corporations have a responsibility to
exist in the real world and it is my personal opinion that the water corporations should be held responsible for security or putting into place the
relevant technologies to protect such a water system from such terrorist attacks.
Just keeping the wells locations from the public may be a start, but we should demand that the water corporations accept some responsibility for the
existing weak or lack of security for such wells.
Demand accountability and don't just lock out the public in the name of preventing terrorist from gaining a source of vital information that can be
used in some terrorism attack. If this practice is believed to be such a vulnerable target, why are the metro bus and train schedules posted for the
public's need to know?
The point I want to make is that anything can be used as a means to attack the population and water is one of them, but it is not the only means and
so I feel that each respective industry should be held responsible for meeting public safety concerns while also negating national terror security
breaches.
If technologies and other security measures can be implemented on water wells, then I would think that we could do the same for other utilities, but
of course when we talk specific and or regulated capital investment, no company or corporation wants to spend money in such a manner because of course
such priorities currently don't exist in most corporations.
It appears to me that these water corporations would rather lobby to prevent the public from knowing the wells locations as if that will somehow
secure the wells from terrorism. I say hold the water company accountable and demand something from those who benefit from such public utilities
such as the water companies who use such wells.
