A fire at a CPFL substation in Ipuã, São Paulo state, cut power to residents and stopped the municipal water treatment plant until supply came back; no injuries were reported and the cause wasn't given. One substation feeding critical services is a contingent business interruption story, and risk managers for water utilities and plants should know which substation they depend on and what backup power covers.
