Former Water Treatment Worker’s Actions Highlight Potential Risks to Town’s Water Safety

The prosecutors said what Gallo did was serious because it could have made the water unsafe for the town. After he quit his job, he still got into the system and turned off important software that keeps the water clean and safe. Other workers found out about it later, showing how big a problem it was. A judge decided Gallo should be on probation for three years, give up his computer, and pay $44,250 to fix what he did. This punishment is a reminder that messing with important systems like the water plant can have serious consequences.
