It's not about forwarding public functions, It's about using timers as people usually do

What's the problem with using a timer here? Timers are not all bad. Besides, I don't see any reason to question the use of timer otherwise there won't be any way to 'change the water' other than using a command.

Yes, this is what I wanted to suggest him. Using rcon or ig command would be better than using different timers for different functions/acts. My future server (if I with my lazy ass develop it) will have not more than 1 timer  (to save the memory).

Using RCON would require manual intervention, and it's just impossible to have an admin sit there and change the water level at regular intervals 24/7. The use of timers here is correct.
