The unspeakable weather has caused more than 2,000 calls for no water so far this year. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) and others at City Hall were saying Wednesday morning that many homes have not had running water for days. Criticism naturally falls on Toronto Water. That may be unfair. Councillor Joe Milhevc (Ward 21) blames it squarely on the weather. There is criticism of the system and the lack of information about when crews can attend to them. This assumes such things can be made coherent in the midst of natural chaos. Mayor Tory was said to be speaking with Toronto Water officials today. More and better infrastructure is the cry but that doesn’t help today. Nor will it ensure that the ravages of a month like this won’t strike again.
