After multiple boil-water notices in Austin, Claire Shoop and Ben Thompson talked to several sources and offered a great story and graphics as an explainer piece for nearly 200,000 homes affected by water issues in the city. The investigative work showed missteps by city water employees, staffing issues and the fact Austin has more boil-water notices than Dallas, San Antonio and Houston (nearly combined). This is explainer journalism at its finest.
