Trendwatch: Water mobs
Are rash of hydrant busts acts of protest, or just a way to beat mandatory water restrictions?
The water mob, captured here by a traffic helicopter, had vanished by the time authorities arrived.
A ruptured Chula Vista hydrant. The mob reportedly took refreshing, high-pressure showers before donning bathrobes and flip-flops and fleeing into the hills.
In a move that has South County authorities baffled and concerned, two Chula Vista water hydrants were broken over the weekend. In both cases, water-loving flash-mobs were reported to have arrived on the scene just moments after the high-pressure geysers erupted, leading some to speculate that the breaks were planned.
"Chula Vista just mandated Navy showers for all new construction," explained San Diego Water Czar Kent Drypp. "Shower heads are programmed to run for thirty seconds, shut off for sixty seconds, and then run for sixty seconds, giving users time to get wet, soap up, and then rinse. These hydro-terrorists are most likely think they're making a statement. But if you ask me, they're all wet. That's a joke."
