I doubt if anyone has a backup system unless they have a cistern. And I don't think that a cistern would be considered a backup water system, as cistern water isn't usually potable. La Vista does have a cistern, but we've been advised not to drink that water; They usually let us know when they're on the cistern.

Phil--OK, thanks. I think RI was one of the resorts where they were voluntarily being disconnected for a period of time? Perhaps that was the 6 PM to 1 AM schedule, that they were offline.
I am still wondering when the temporary generators will kick in. As per usual, there seems to be a total lack of information from GEBE about when that will happen.

Scuba--I have been seeing notices of water outages posted almost daily on the GEBE page. I'm not sure how that relates to the electric outages.

Phil--ok re electric outages. Still not sure why it isn't happening there.
Regarding water outages, as I said, they have been posted several times recently on the GEBE page, regarding different areas. And usually the outages are for several hours. Certainly NOT as bad as the electric situation, but concerning.

Scratch that… it’s the loudest power washer in history running outside of our building 😂

eightzerobits--GEBE's 'schedule' is often not anywhere close to reality, as we found out in June. Usually it was at least an hour off.
