Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. As a result, the pumping equipment lasts longer and the whole distribution network experiences steadier, less damaging pressure throughout the day.
  2. This allows utility companies to pump water uphill into the tower during quiet overnight hours, when electricity is cheaper and demand is low.
  3. Because the tank sits high above the town, gravity alone pushes water through the pipes whenever a tap is opened, without any pump running continuously.
