Who though of  this  and why?

Did the muni' water supply go negative somewhere and hoses started  siphoning dirty water?

Wonder if it originated where wells were the main source of water.

I think it started out in California.  Where most of the idiocy about water originates.

One more thing the terrorists haven't thought of: Pumping contaminants into the water system from inside a dwelling.

They were developed to prevent contaminants from siphoning back into a well, as can happen when you are (for example) spraying herbicide with a hose-end sprayer attachment, and your electricity is interrupted. Not such a bad idea out here in the sticks.
