Is the idea that the federal government of the United States, which created and maintains a database of hundreds of millions of taxpayers, is powerless compile a database of 0.1% that number of water utilities?

Are you seriously asking me to provide a program?

I believe the comment was to say you can not create a join for data that does not exist. Access to financial records is trivial, but there is likely no such comparable record that one can query on for water/industrial. Maybe metrics like water quality for some of them, but not the other security data exists other than shodan/censys (weak and out of context) which could take months per site to collect.

AFAIK the most robust data they have on industrial sectors is within the national labs, and even then its considered sparse.

How did the federal government create the database of taxpayers? How do they keep it up to date? Why can these mechanisms not work for water utilities?
