The other day, while the temperature was around -30 C, a water line around here broke. The water in the neigbourhood was out for about a day while a city crew dug a hole in a neighbour's lawn.
(That's "lawn" in the seasonally agnostic sense; it was really just a patch of snow covering frozen ground, which ostensibly contained grass roots until the backhoe shredded it.)
The lack of running water, however brief, was a reminder that plumbing is one of the foundations of modern civilization.
