Why do some solutions conduct electricity while others do not?
The type of solution that conducts electricity is called an electroylte. This is because ions are formed where there are positive and negative charges in the solution. Electricity can travel through the solution because of these ions. A non-electroylte solution does not contain ions and therefore has no way to trasmit electricity.

Why is electricity important for your town or city?
Without electricity Humans would struggle to live. Humans have become so dependent on electricity that if we run out Some might struggle to do basic things. But If you think about it more deeply. humans adapt quickly as we think for other alternative solutions. For example if we run out of electricity that we get from coal and fossil fuels. Humans would probably switch to solar powered things. (hope this makes sense)
