Why fill the bathtub? Does a power failure cause your water to quit?

The pumps at the filtration plant stop working if the outage is bad
enough. At the very lest, it results in contaminated water.

I wonder what's in all those towers that look like giant golf balls.
If the outage is bad enough, will gravity stop working?

Gravity works just fine. But if they can't fill those
tanks they don't help much. Here in Eastern Oklahoma we
have had 2 major ice storms in 6 years. Many towns lost
water for several days at a time. Then water became a
jewel beyond price. It isn't fun living without lights,
heat, and water.

Lights tend to come back on much later than water. My
brother-in-law didn't get his lights back for 11 days.
