A company is better equipped to do without water than Internet access. Just tell every employee to bring water and washcloths and towels to work.
I'm not sure how well the toilets will work without water. Take a modest office building with 500 employees in it and you have about 2500 gallons of water per day just for the toilets and urinals (a bit less if they don't wash their hands afterwards).
I still agree Internet access is a necessary public utility, but a water main break is still a huge problem even if you run to Cosco to stock up on bottled water.
Which is worse? No Internet, or no water? (Score:4, Interesting)

Internet access has become a necessary public utility.

What's wrong with composting toilets? They work just fine without water.

They take a while to install in a large office complex suddenly without water.

I'm not sure how well they work on the 5th floor either. Nor how many per 100 people you'd need.
