they will b priority for government in the short run. if enuf workers get infected then we could have issues.those workers take years of on the job training to replace and there are only a few of them.prob's with water and sewer will b chemmicals. how much do we have in the US stored?

other thing is on the local level if u have another weather emergency or damage the lines or pipes,might take much longer to get service back working.

if we lose control of the country trhen everyhthing will go down.give it 6mths,just in time for winter. so yeah prep like u won't have them working.
