Water supply disruption/disconnection/halt or their verb forms
Suppose that people in your city haven't had any water for a while due to a drought. I have written down a few ways of saying that.
(1) There has been a water supply disruption due to the drought.
(2) There has been a water supply disconnection due to the drought.
(3) There has been a water supply halt due to the drought.
(4) The water has been disrupted due to the drought.
(5) The water has been disconnected due to the drought.
(6) The water has been halted due to the drought.
Most of my non-native English speaking friends think my sentences are all OK. A few think (4) to (6) are missing something.
May I ask two questions?
(A) Are my sentences OK?
(B) Do I need "supply" in "The water supply" for (4) to (6)? Thanks a lot.
