Isn't the water supply already poisoned when they dump sodium fluoride into it?

Why are they putting lye in the water supply to begin with??

A supervisor [...] saw a cursor move across the screen and change settings, Gualtieri said, and was able to immediately reverse it

If they attacked the PLC directly that wouldn't go down so well.
