Rain catchments and cisterns..
Localized water production is very important. In a blackout, most cities can only continue to pump water for a matter of hours, so as long as you have your own water collected (cisterns and catchments are cheap) you'll survive it just fine. What's even better is the fact that you can eliminate your water bill too :)
