I don't think that they're automatic and the issue was the time between the power shut off and generators coming on line. If we had been warned, I'm sure that a lot of the prep could have been done so the time lag wouldn't have been nearly as bad. I don't believe that you just turn on generators of this size. All the water drained out of the system in that time lag, and they can't rebuild pressure b/c everyone still has their faucets open (like I said earlier, it's a Tragedy of the Commons situation in real time).
More likely tBoy had his head up his arse and did not do his job.
How often do you suppose water system admins get a heads up a power failure is immanent?

this wasn't a power failure that popped up randomly
this was a planned outage that happened intentionally
also it happened when LC was using 2x max load
