Nougat,

In a basement, the waste water is pumped up into the sewer drain. No electricity means that pump doesn't work, the ejector pump pit fills up and floods the basement. If you have a shower in the basement, you likely also have a toilet in the basement, so when that pit floods, it's "not a good time."

Nougat,

Yes, it's like a regular sump pump, except it's got a large intake and a grinder.

I can see where in older neighborhoods, more urban, where the sewer system existed before the residential, that sewer would still be lower than basements. Or maybe when the residential is much nearer to the water treatment facility, and it's at the lower end of its slope to get there. New subdivisions on what used to be farmland, way away from water treatment, I'm sure they don't dig the sewers as deep, and do ejector and sump pumps in the basements.

Nougat,

A gas water heater is still going to have an electric start.
