Our Lake Worth Water Plant ready for Irma

As so many people are out buying water with price gouges going on at certain establishments, this morning, I asked Brian Shields, Water Director, about the possibility of losing our water during Irma.  This is the exchange of e-mails.  The last response appears first:
..........................

There are many possibilities that cannot be predicted, but we are as secure and have as many backups as possible. Our crews are ready to respond.

Thanks Brian.
Brian, about the only way we would not get water would be devastating winds that would take down our water plant?
Is this an accurate statement? Are there other ways?
Sorry to bother you, these are my last questions…promise. 😊

Brian-
Does that mean, in all probability, that we will have water running through the tap?

Hi Brian--

Do we really have to be concerned about NO water during and after Irma?

I remember past hurricanes and we had water.

Thanks.
