Talk:2010 Boston water emergency

CfD
First of all, please do not try to delete articles while they are being written without first bringing this to the talk page, that's very poor form. Second, there is nothing in WP:NOTNEWS that this is violating. Two million people with contaminated water and a state of emergency in American city is a very notable event. If it's not, should 2006_Danvers_Chemical_Fire be deleted? Should New_York_City_blackout_of_1977? Certainly not. Miserlou (talk) 23:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Amen. As has been noted by others elsewhere, there are many WP editors (and even administrators) prone to trigger-happy deletion, thinking that they are improving WP by applying one policy without considering the others, and without checking to see if the article is currently being written or edited.

New section
I have just added a new section on the possibility of contamination of the emergency substitute water supply in current use. I have provided many secondary references. Please do not delete this section without following WP procedure. David Spector (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The backup water supply doesn't come from ponds around the Weston Reservoir(s). It comes from the Sudbury Reservoir and one of the 3 Framingham Reservoirs via the Sudbury Aqueduct. This can be augmented from the Wachusett Reservoir via the Wachusett Tunnel and an open channel that begins in Marlborough and flows into the Sudbury.

The two Weston surface reservoirs (The Weston and the Norumbega) can normally supply additional backup water into the Hultman Aqueduct, which is currently undergoing rehabilitation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.139.84 (talk) 10:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Rename to 2010 Boston water emergency
To match Wikipedia style, shouldn't this article be renamed 2010 Boston water emergency? --Crunch (talk) 11:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Or merge it into the water authority article's relevant section. Jim.henderson (talk) 03:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
