ANGOLA â When Fridayâs power outage plunged most of Angola in the dark, there were still a couple things you could do: You could run your water and flush your toilet.
Thatâs because the crews at Angola water and wastewater plants had backup electricity running to power pumps and other equipment that makes things work when you want a drink or gotta go.
After a snow storm, you can see the immediate results: The streets and highways are cleaned and you can drive your car to get to work or go to the store, said Craig Williams, Angolaâs wastewater plant superintendent.
