Today, I learned that when the power goes out at my house, my family thinks you can no longer flush the toilet. FML

You can't use water when the electricity is out if the house has well water because the pump runs on electricity.

If you have a well it's true. Takes a lot of electricity to pump water up from 100 ft below ground...

Yep u need electricity to pump the water INTO the house. Water may still be on, but you can't use it if you have no electricity to pump it to your faucet/ tub/ potty! It's that was with city and well water.

Learned something new today, I had no idea that people with well water can't flush when the power's out. When you never had that experience you just don't know. Flushing a toilet any time is a luxury to me now. lol

to be fair, we couldn't flush when the power was out in the house I grew up in because there was no power to the pump that got the sewage to street level. if we flushed the toilets would overflow.
