Impact seems limited so far, but it's still concerning that this kind of infrastructure is Internet-accessible:

Nate George, the mayor of Braham, Minn., a small city 65 miles north of Minneapolis, said public works personnel noted early Monday that the well that feeds the city’s water tower was malfunctioning.
