Some Relevant Halachos for Yom Kippur: A Clarification

The following is an excerpt from the article on selected halachos 
relative to Yom Kippur:
"At the conclusion of Yom Kippur, one may not do melachah (labor 
prohibited on Shabbos/ Yom Kippur) until one recites (or hears) 
Havdalah over wine (or the equivalent) or recites A ttah Chonantanu 
in Ma'ariv, or says Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l'chol. Although 
reciting any of these allows one to do melachah, one may not eat 
until after reciting (or hearing) Havdalah over wine (or the 
equivalent). Accordingly, married men should hurry home after Ma'ariv 
on Motza'ei Yom Kippur to recite Havdalah so that their wives will be 
able to eat."

Clarification :
Following the conclusion of Yom Kippur, after one recites Attah 
Chonantanu in Ma'ariv or says Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l'chol, one 
may drink water even before reciting (or hearing) Havdalah. Thus (for 
example), a woman whose husband is delayed in coming home after 
Ma'ariv on Motza'ei Yom Kippur may recite Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh 
l'chol after nightfall and drink water before hearing Havdalah.
