Think of a control system at a small water utility no differently than an autopilot in a small plane. Autopilots do help. They enable flying to be much more precise and they improve economy. But you can fly them by hand. Civil Aircraft are supposed to be designed for dynamic stability (this is actual regulation). Failure of the automation is not an OMG I'm gonna fall out of the sky event. And neither is the automation at most small water utilities. Will it be less efficient? Yes. Will the quality of the water vary more? Yes. But the systems were originally designed to function without automation of any sort. As long as the attack against automation is recognized and maintained, (and there are protocols to discover and deal with automation failures), it will be a non-event.
