That is so miserable, oh my goodness. I cannot even fathom the damage of this on all of the public infrastructure and everyone’s vehicles. Ice expanding into every nook and crevice? Ugh.

GLWA and DWSD are paying for the damage, no federal aid has been announced. This is a city utility failure and the utility company will pay for it.

This is a weird assumption if it's not an attempt to shoehorn national politics into a post about a disaster caused by city utility infrastructure failure. They already said who would be paying for the damages, and it wasn't any type of federal aid.
