Questions & Answers about wùyè yǐjīng huīfù gōngshuǐ le.

What does 物业 mean here? Does it mean property?

Here 物业 does not mean the physical property itself. In everyday Chinese, especially in apartment complexes or residential compounds, 物业 is often short for 物业公司 or 物业管理.

So in this sentence, 物业 means something like:

• the property management company
• the building management office
• management

It refers to the people responsible for building services, maintenance, utilities coordination, and so on.

Why is 已经 placed before 恢复?

已经 means already, and it usually comes before the verb phrase it modifies.

The structure here is:

Subject + 已经 + Verb phrase + 了

So:

• 物业 = the property management
• 已经 = already
• 恢复供水 = restored water supply
• 了 = marks the new situation / completion

This placement is very normal in Mandarin. English also puts already before the main verb quite often, so the logic is similar.

If 已经 already means already, why is 了 also needed?
