Having your message broadcasted through Twitter is not a human right or essential to your survival. Also, what kind of TOS would a water company have that you can break? This example is ridiculous.
...now you know how it feels for anyone on the opposite side of your argument.
The good ol' democrat mantra: "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
I'm doubtful there is no clause in your city's/county's/municipality's/state's, etc. that allows them to interrupt service without cause. That's why terms of service exist.
Now I'm genuinely curious to find out what terms of service you agreed to with the private water company. What type of settlement do you live in?
