I understand the cause of the flooding started with an old computer freezing up. Did it need to be rebooted? Did the hard drive go out? Instead of building a multimillion dollar pumping station for a valley that should be scaling back its growth, why not buy just a new PC. Perhaps a couple of them and make the system redundant, one backing up the other. Maybe buy a Macintosh or two (they have a better operating system). So go ahead and spend 20 or 30 thousand dollars on some new equipment to regulate the existing pumping stations. I could easily accept that, and it makes much more sense fiscally.
