In the event of a power outage, residents of Ramsey can rest assured knowing that their access to water will remain intact. The City of Ramsey recently confirmed via a social media post that gravity allows water stored in water towers to flow even when power is down.

According to the city's Facebook post, the emergency interconnections act as a fail-safe, offering peace of mind to the populace.

Whether due to severe weather, technical failures, or unforeseen events, the city’s proactive measures highlight a commitment to infrastructure resilience and public safety. On the City of Ramsey's official website, detailed information about the city's utilities stresses the importance of readiness and sustained efforts to maintain essential services in the face of adversities.
