- NOWATER (due to main break, etc.)
- WTR-COMING-UP

'WTR-COMING-UP'
)Analyst tip: Austin uses 'AW -' (Austin Water) and 'WPD -' (Watershed Protection Department) prefixes. Calgary uses 'WATS -' (Water and Sewer). NYC uses 'WATER LEAK' and 'Water System'. Baton Rouge has a broader 'ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES' that may include non-water items — cross-check against the raw feed if precision matters.
