Episode Details

Five thousand Groveland residents woke up to a shocking water outage triggered by a computer glitch at the Sunshine Water Treatment Plant—where the system falsely reported the tank as full, halting pumps just as demand spiked. Families struggled with basic needs like formula and laundry, businesses shut down, and long-standing distrust of the water supply deepened. Pumps were restored by midday, but a boil-water advisory remains until Friday. A $25 million state-funded upgrade to a new treatment plant by 2028 aims to fix this growing crisis before it worsens.
