Great to see the BBC using the words 'outage' and 'outrage' indiscriminately within their own news article:
Power outrage causing water interruption repaired
The Anderson family are among those affected by the outage
A power cut that interrupted water supplies to nearly 100 properties in Kent has been repaired, a water company has said.
Households in and around Bayleys Hill, Sevenoaks, were affected as the electricity outrage hit a processing facility that meant water could not to pumped to the properties.
At 16:25 GMT on Friday a South East Water spokesperson said: "We are pleased to report the repair is now complete and we are slowly returning the water to the pipework.
...
Steve Benton, the water company's incident manager, told the BBC the outage had "impacted our boosters that push water around our network in this area".

I've linked this post to the original BBC item, but I bet they will have corrected their spelling by tomorrow morning.
