Yes, but there are still a lot of non-YTK-compliant water heaters and pipes
(with old solder) out there. The water heater in my apartment produces a
less-than-appetizing smell, so it is suspect. If I had to drink it, of
course, that would be another story. Die today from thirst and hunger, or
maybe die in 2020 from cancer & heavy metal poisoning.... easy choice.
Yes, the city has back-up generators, although my last posting failed to
mention that people off the city grid would not benefit from this. If
there were an emergency, I suspect the city would ban car washing, lawn
watering, etc.
