Ask anyone on the historic side.
You couldn't cross the golf cart bridge for a week and the power Awas about that long.
Point to someone whose house flooded, that would be a reason to doubt the system. Flooded tunnels and approaches *could* have been due to lack of power to run lift pumps (you write that both resolved at about the same time). And obviously, keeping the power on is not a function of a water management system.
