The township is under a water boil advisory. They decided the way to inform people was on the website, through phone if you have a phone on your water account, through a system no one knew existed, or Facebook.

They're offering a case of water per household for free though!

That announcement was only through Facebook. Great. All gone.

Hmm I never said that.

This you?

You drive door to door leaving flyers. [...] Why do you think municipal or county staff can't drive

Anyway...

Hey there champ, those are different words meaning different things. Love this strategy of yours known as, "pretend to be less literate than a gradeschooler", though.

You're talking about what Amazon and USPS can do. They can do it (Amazon not every home in a given area) because they're equipped to. Saying that the water company should be able to cover a town with flyers because USPS goes door to door is about as logical as saying USPS should fix a water main because the water company does it.

Okay so there's this thing called paying for goods and services. I know, difficult concept, but stick with me. Companies and agencies with liabolities write things called "contracts" or "budgets" where they pay others to handle needs for goods and services. Such as paying USPS to knock on doors like they often will for packages, leaving behind a flyer. Crazy, I know. There are already municipalities that use Amazon delivery drivers for services due to neoliberal austerity, but that is an actual thing that happens.

These are just some competent, simple options. They could also use a slew of government workers, contractors, hell they could be lazy asses and supplement with day laborers. The sky's the limit.

Now, if the law requires something that will always change the calculus but that doesn't seem to be the case here

Oh? How does it change the calculus?

Yeah by replying I think I'm giving the false impression of taking you seriously, person whi thinks things that happen are impossible.
