I hope you can help. If folks knew how bad it was getting up here... well... I don't know what would happen.

He's increasingly worried about the state of the water and drainage structure, and knows it won't hold much longer - and neither will he. At 61, he's one of the oldest residents.[1] He also has a preference for Enclave Radio, though never actively listens to it, citing it as being "downright patriotic."

Daily schedule

During the daytime, Walter can be found in the water processing plant for most of the day, though sometimes he will step outside for some air. During the night hours, he can be seen drinking in Moriarty's Saloon.
