You know just when I thought I had been too harsh to the City of Wetumka they would go on to prove me wrong. Let me explain that if something like Water Pump goes bad it needs to be replaced ASAP and not when you are down to one functioning Water Pump that starts to go bad before addressing the problem of no working Water Pumps. There needs to be some sort of redundancy when it comes to utilities being provided by the city or town you live in. That means in the case of the City of Wetumka there should be a Primary Water Pump and at a minimum two Backup Water Pumps. That also means in the case of the City of Wetumka that the people of Wetumka should be allowed to have a generator plug in either the back or front of their home so they can plug in a generator or battery bank with solar panels for when the power goes out.
Now luckily My mother and I got warned about this from the Housing Authority we live in but it makes me wonder who all would be in the dark. After all not everyone has a Facebook account, not everyone has someone that will check on them, and not everyone has a cell phone. So if you have someone that lives in Wetumka Oklahoma you might want to at least check on them but if you can take them home with you until this whole water pump problem gets worked out. Twice over since it might be two or three days if not more since I was told they are going to another state to get just one. If that's true then they need to do better planning when it comes to things like this.
This is also why I always question the actions of the City of Wetumka because the problem of a failing Water Pump should not be even a thing. The funny part is that if I remember right they are going to Louisiana for the replacement Water Pump at least that's what I have been told. So is the City of Wetumka going to going to get its shit together or does it just want the people of Wetumka to leave. There is no way to know for sure but all we can do is try to make do with what we have for now. Later down the road, the people of Wetumka are going to have to figure out how to fix this problem of having a questionable local government sometime or another. Until then stock up on as much water as you can for the time being.
