Okay, about the water supply.
I don't know for sure whether this info is correct, but it should give you a pretty good impression of how it should work.
There is a building, like a power plant, but this one boils water. The boiling water is than converted to big pipes with even bigger isolation to keep it from losing its warmth before even reaching the homes. These pipes are of course underground.
Somehow there was a problem with the pipes or the conversion of the water to the pipes, anyway quite a lot of houses and alike didn't have hot water for a few days. It seems even now (or yesterday to be precise) there are places without hot water.
And just for the record, I never even heard of this system until about a week ago, so for details you shouldn't be asking me. At my house we have a boiler, so no problems there. I can't even think of a reason why anyone would actually want this central system, but there must be some benefit, right?
