The consequences of power failure

The pumps bringing water to apartments and houses are dependent on electricity. This means that the water would seize to flow in high-rise buildings in case of a power outage. On lower floors, water availability will worsen as water towers run out of water.

Although usually a result of extreme weather, electrical blackouts caused by fallen trees and broken branches are one of the most common causes of power outages. Heavy winds can easily uproot trees that fall onto power lines or knock down transmission poles.

However, the three most common causes are natural causes, human error, and overload. Basically, any interruption between power generation and the supply of electricity to homes can cause a power outage. It can stem from inclement weather conditions, human error, equipment failure, and even animal interference.
