Last summer, in response to lessons learned from
Hurricane Katrina, MRWA sent out a survey form to over
1000 water
supplies in the state asking them to report on their
system assets, especially noting equipment they might
have available
in an emergency. 125 systems responded to MRWA providing
valuable information as to just what they might have
available. Last Friday, many Missouri locations suffered
one of the worst ice storms in recent history with
power disrupted in many locations. Using information provided by the 125 available survey
forms, MRWA staff was able to locate
emergency generators for several communities. As one
city official put it, "we requested emergency generation
equipment from state and county officials at 11:00 p.m.
on Friday night, as of Sunday afternoon we had heard
nothing.
Upon calling MRWA on Sunday, we had NINE portable
generators located within one and a half hours!"
