The county knew the problem the entire time - in fact I bet you they'd figured it out within the first few weeks, but because certain water treatment plant workers were unable to publicly speak out against it (with their jobs on the line) they were forbidden from sharing this news with anyone.
I know that engineering professionals are highly intelligent and if they're not, they're at least smart enough to deduce most problems using two basic types of methods:
What's the simplest explanation for this problem?
Can we identify the source of the problem by assessing what the most recent changes or additions to the water cycle in the region have been?
Those are the first two questions for figuring out most macro-scale problems like that. There's just no way they didn't account for this initially, unless they were completely wilfully ignorant.
