Yes, utilities shouldn’t be negligent, but national security is 100% the federal government’s responsibility. If the vulnerabilities were so trivial, then it’s even more damning that the federal government was caught with its pants down, particularly since they were the only ones who knew they would be starting a war.

There are over 150k water utilities alone in the US.

Passing the buck to the Federal Government is not understanding the problem.

There are 1000x as many tax payers and the government still makes sure every single mom who gets a venmo payment for $60 pays taxes. National security is a federal responsibility, they should absolutely do their jobs.
