As I posted here, we did not have power for 9 hours last night that end us sleeping in the living room sofa with all the doors open (only screen doors closed). But I forgot to mention that at around 12midnight here, there was no water also. Our water do not depend on electricity. Good thing this lasted for 3-4 hours only. It could have been worse, but I am still grateful. good morning/afternoon/evening to all!

@rakski You are right.It's cold and you needn't switch on fans and ACs, but what about interrupted supply of water?.

I know how it is to be without water. Glad it’s back now. The photos online showed such horrible damage and flooding.

The water company announced it several hours after the water was gone

In urban cities this problem is common as we depend on electricity for water pulling

@rakski tell me more about the option please

@SHOHANA to have an electric pump with water tank. But since the water pressure is good here, I did not go for that option. Having water tank means you will always have a good supply of water.

I can have an option like that but I did not do it.

@Nevena83 yes it is. It came back late in the afternoon but the water is not yet clear and the pressure is very low
