What happens if there is a power failure?

If there is a power failure, then water should be used sparingly.  There will be some storage in the pump tank (30-60 gallons) so some water can be used.  However, most water usage, such as a shower and washing clothes, should cease.  Residents that have well water are not as affected since without power, well pumps are also not operational.  Experience has found that power failures have not been a significant source of complaints by users.
