I think Texas has shown us over the past years that they aren't proactive in preventing utility failures or even winterizing them properly but i'm sure it's just political right?

Both the main transformer and the backup transformer blew. How exactly could the water plant be more "proactive"? The point of having the backup is that you can use the main transformer for it's full service life, and replace it when it actually fails. This was a freak occurrence.
