All lies, what Newsom has actually ordered was for a cover up of why there was no water? You can be sure his own people will be doing the investigation. And then explain why nobody’s at fault.Maybe blame global warming

Newsom needs to get water to the hydrants now—whatever it takes.
It is his responsibility to fix it—now.
No excuses.
