A Salutory Reminder

[Lightspeed]

Good reminder Tarrel.

Its all to easy to assume water is permanently available on tap.

Answering your question, yes, we can survive a temporary shut down, and being cut off long term would be awkward but not impossible.

Water independence is very much on our fix list ath e moment. Water filter now in permanent operation, new preparedness plumbing system installed two weeks ago and this week I am awaiting delivery of 2 x 1000L storage tanks.

Dry toilet now up and running as a fall back solution, but very useful if mains water is shut down.

Next on the agenda is rainwater harvesting. Later we'll look at getting our well water analysed, but we're not too happy about consuming anything from it as our mysteriously never-needed-to-be-emptied cess pit is a little too close for comfort!
