Rant: The week my town's water tower got repainted and the 'tests' started

They closed off the entire reservoir park in Cedar Falls for 5 days last month, citing 'routine maintenance' and a new paint job on the main tower. That same week, three different city trucks were parked on my street taking water samples from the hydrant, which they've never done in the 12 years I've lived here. Has anyone else seen weirdly coordinated 'infrastructure work' paired with sudden environmental testing?

Three trucks on one street?

Classic suburbia. The truck arms race is real.

It's gotten ridiculous on my street too. Every driveway has a massive truck now, even the people who clearly never haul anything. They just keep getting bigger and more expensive. It's like a weird competition nobody actually agreed to join. Makes parking a real pain when they all stick out so far.
