At least where I live (NYC) I really don't think water supply is a major issue,
unless you live in an apartment building greater than 6 stories tall. You see,
NYCs water isn't pumped, it's pure gravity feed - kinda interesting. The head
pressure is enough to get water up to the 5-6th floor - usually building
greater than 4 stories have a rooftop water that that THEY do pump to, but your
average 'house' on the lower levels? The water is pure gravity, and if THAT
ever fails
