I wonder if a power-outage of this duration will impact on water supplies? I'm pretty certain it will in some of the high rise apartment buildings.

NYCs water supply comes from upstate in a ginormous newish pipeline system big enough to drive a truck down, its pumped and gravity fed. BUT its electrically PUMPED into the majority of premises in the city, worse the sewage system is like Londons, electrically pumped.
