We have a well.\u00a0Megan talked\u00a0about both it and the first building of the water tower \u00a0way back when<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a0It provides delicious unlimited water (when the\u00a0electricity is working) \u00a0to the houses and out buildings, pasture trees, green houses and garden beds via a rather complicated set of interconnected pipes, tanks, and gravity.\u00a0 We also have two spring fed “ponds” on our property.\u00a0 We are fortunate to have water for our needs. We certainly noticed during this last year’s drought!<\/p>\n

The system is set up such that we pump the water from the well to the highest\u00a0holding tank and then gravity keeps the lower\u00a0tower tank full – the next\u00a0pump (an irrigation pump vs. a well pump), pumps it out and up to next set of holding tanks.\u00a0The original design of the water tower was for the upper tank to be very high up so that gravity would do the work for us. It wasn’t really necessary as one tank is directly below the other so gravity was a given. But it worked and was going to be work to change. About a year ago, the top tank started to leak; last month, the leak was more like a constant rain.\u00a0 Jon has been dreading having to fix the leak and yet at the same time, he wanted to change the height of the tower.\u00a0Because in\u00a0any sort of wind worth talking about that tower dances. It’s a little scary. So Jon\u00a0has been pondering how to do this.\u00a0 Finally, he had an AHA! moment and charged ahead.<\/p>\n

We were only without water for about 20 minutes while the “change over” happened.\u00a0 Phase One of the new tank and no more water leak is complete!<\/p>\n

So now the top water tank is disconnected, empty, and waiting to be taken down.\u00a0 The second tank (the new tank) has been installed, connected, and filled. Next up is to\u00a0disassemble the top roof\u00a0 and walls, shorten the support polls and re-add the roof.\u00a0 All at a later date, when other items are not higher on the to do list.\u00a0\u00a0 BUT YEA! no more rain on my laundry line.<\/p>\n
