The water thing is more of a carry over from the promblems US preppers thing they will face - there, in cities, almost all water is pumped and a great % of people live high rise.
While water is pumped in some UK cities and in some high rises, for the most part in the UK water is gravity fed and even in large cities, the majority live at the most on a third floor.
Now, some cities sewage systems in the UK need pumps - they are gravity fed to a point then the waste must be 'recovered up' using pumps. They are massive stuctures and could take weeks and possibly months of solids - any liquids would spill over into storm drains and be discharged by gravity into water courses.
Those that speak of cholera happening - well, I just do not see it happening. The reason is, for an outbreak of cholera, you need a source of infection and cholera is very rare in this country - <10 cases a year, all coming from abroad, not near enough to create the bacterial load in any given watersource to cause a problem.
Any one not boiling water from a source that cannot be 100% trusted is taking bigger risks with other things anyway and is a risk to the rest of the population and those types will not be missed.
