Most people remember the days where we could not use or drink the water from our sinks. It as horrible. people had to use bottled water to brush their teeth, to drink and anything that has contact with the body. Even showering was a bit dangerous. The main water break happened on May1, 2010. It affected more that 2 million people , leaving them waterless. The state law makers mainly looked at the contractors and designers who completed the pipes as the people responsible. The break could have had a corroded bolt to play a part.
Water is really important to all living things. Without water, we would be dehydrated and probably die if it reaches an extreme point. the chance of death because of dehydration is very serious and this water break plays a part. Lucky for us, the water break lasted for only 3 days and we had stores that we can buy bottled water from. Water, as many of us know, is limited. We only have as much water as long ago or maybe less. And with all the pollution and such, we are decreasing that limits amount of water. The water break could've been contaminated that that lowers it More. Looking into the future, the water supply could be very short and not many of us would get the amount that we need,
We should care about this issue, because not only is it harming us when we use water during this time, but it also wastes money. Because this could have been caused by humans, us humans could make the same mistake again or something even worse. This harms our health, but what if something bigger happens? We must always think of the future based on the past and the present and try to make the future better.
