The guard shift at the water tower changes every four hours. It might look like constant watch, but they are just doing regular rounds. The safety claims are about the water quality and tower structure, not the guards. I checked with the city last week and they confirmed it. This is standard procedure for most town water systems.
Hey @matthew_jackson15, I get what you're saying about standard procedure, but regular rounds every four hours still leaves a big gap. If the safety is just about water and structure, why have guards at all (it sends a mixed message, you know?). That schedule means there are times when no one is actually watching the tower, which feels like a weak point. Checking with the city is good, but their standard might not be good enough for real security.
