## Resource

A brand-new, $300 million drainage system just failed twice during storms—once in May, once recently—with city leaders scrambling to explain why. The Sewerage and Water Board blames voltage drops, not power outages, but Mayor Moreno admits she didn’t even know about the May incident until after the latest storm. Public trust is plummeting as city officials prepare for a major council hearing to uncover what went wrong—and why this critical upgrade, meant to be foolproof, keeps letting the city down.
