Homeowners, some, are now frustrated with the back-to-back-to-back maintenances.
Power Interruption here and there. At 5 pm, the power was cut off. Per electric company, it is an unplanned interruption as they were to replace a broken post. The electricity was restored 15 minutes before 8 pm.
Water interruption tonight. We did not see the announcement. At 10 PM the water supply went out. I wanted to shower before work but the supply will be restored at 2 AM. 12 minutes to go as of this writing.
On Friday, another power Interruption from 8 AM to 5 PM. Reason: relocation of poles/posts due to road widening. This will affect my work from 8 am to 9 am as I work from home. In order that I won't get any deduction on my pay, I asked permission to take my meal break at 8AM to 9 AM. My supervisor agreed and approved my request.

I hope that all posts should be repaired in order to not have unplanned maintenance due to faulty wiring or posts.

I'm glad your supervisor approved your request. At least, this time.

At least it was approved before Friday.
But I have a concern, we still don't have water supply. It is almost 3 AM. I doubt someone is working at this hour.

@jobelbojel You're probably right. They must not have gotten the repair finished yet.

They indeed. Some people in the subdivision where I live work from home. And saw some of them ranting on the FB page created by the homeowners.

@LadyDuck that is correct. I need a back up but the neighborhood/homeowners say they have bad experience with the order service provider.

@jobelbojel When you work from home, you need a reliable connection.

We didn't have water supply yesterday for 8 hours. But they posted a notice in advance.

That was a long interruption. Good thing though you got an advance notice.

Power and water interruptions are very inconvenient.

That is true. The water interruption was unexpected. We were unable to store up supply before it was totally gone. It went back up at 3 AM.

As I write this reply, our electricity just got back after 2-hour brown out, unscheduled.

I hope they get everything fixed so you do not have any more power interruptions.
