dont ask me what water has to do with power outages... I just see them find more ways to make us hot. lol

The water that comes to your house from those giant water tanks up the hill there is fed by gravity, but without electricity they can't run the pumps that replenish the water in those tanks as it comes out. Used sparingly those tanks can Last a few days. On normal usage they would probably be depleted in a few hours.
