Getting water hauled in to put in our cistern. We are not hooked up to city water yet. It forces you to be very conservitive with your water consumtion.

    I imagine it is a pain. I hope you have a rain catchement system and re-use grey water. Why no well?

    We collect off the roof but we’re in a severe drought right now. No grey water setup yet but if I can find a cheap tank and pump I would catch some shower water to help with the garden.

    That really has to be horrible. I mean you can’t create more water! Good luck with using what you have and good job on being able to use so litte.

    Can you dig a well where your at? Do you know how deep your water table is?

  6. slmdj says:

    We cant dig a well cause my county was metroed into Louisville and they banned wells. My water table is only about 50 feet down. I can hook up to city water for $7,500.00.

    When we built out new house – we did a few things – Grey water is a must – it saves so much water, front load washer uses so much less water and a low water dishwasher does wonders. We just used another water tank to use as a grew water tank – a cheap pool filter – and a pump – it works great – no need to waste money on expensive pre packaged systems. Good luck to you bud.
