I agree this is a delicate situation.

I can see that this issue affects an extremely small number of users. They 
have to live on a county boundary and be in a very rural location. There 
has to be cell towers they can reach that are nearly equidistant from their 
location and in different counties as well. This reduces the numbers 
affected to a statistically negligible number. Even if it were 1,000 users, 
that would still be less than 0.1% overall. I doubt it affects 100.

I also agree that it would be optimum to send alerts for multiple counties 
to those people. However, the load on the server would be increased 
dramatically by such a process and it would affect so few people that it 
isn't worth the cost. It would also be extremely difficult to test in a 
real world scenario.

In our help text we have a procedure that can be used to "fix" network 
location issues. It works pretty well for those in rural areas where they 
are incorrectly located. This procedure probably will solve the problem for 
the user in question.
