Okay, all electricity goes out, planes start falling, sewage gets clogged, no more coal for heating so that goes away as well, no plumbers and repair men to fix shit. So, I’d assume a chaos.
Electricity would probably work for a day. Sewage plants have backup generators and can usually last a while even without them. It’s mostly a gravity feed process. Except the wet well but they are always oversized.
