The correct answer is: had no way to check water quality before they had under-ice buoys.
Explanation: Under-ice buoys allow for monitoring of water quality even when the surface is frozen, providing a solution to check the drinking water quality throughout winter, rather than waiting for the ice to melt. This technology was developed specifically to address the challenges posed by winter conditions.
