Eating is still a problem, and you want to save energy by spending money on electricity?
No need to waste resources like this.
Here, it involves resource scarcity and different lifestyles, but anyhow, living in the apartment buildings now, life is still the old way.
In the residential area, there are usually several pumps downstairs that require queueing, and carrying water upstairs still takes effort.
The men in the military district can't always come home on time, and even if they do, they often come back exhausted, so their families hesitate to ask them to carry water up and down the stairs.
This means that every household saves water to some extent, and as for laundry, in spring, summer, fall, and winter, everyone does it by the pump, chatting while washing.
For most people, not having to get up early to carry water and chop wood is already a great relief.
