I have made a BIG transition this year moving from the city to the country. There has been a lot to adjust to but one of the hardest things to adjust to is the water system. I never realized what an impact water, lack of water, or quality of water can make on your life. We are currently on a well system that runs low on water after a simple chore like washing the dishes. If we run out of water it would take at least 30 mins for the well to recover and be restored. Even with the rainy spring that we have had our well would still run out. I realized that I took for granted the fact that mom and dad wrote a check out each month so that we had water. I even feel a little guilty for taking extra long showers when dad wasn't home. Knowing what I know now I would go back and hug them each and every month, each and every time they paid the mortgage, water bill, the electric bill, or the heating bill.
We recently purchased two 200 gallon water storage tanks and a submersible pump to help with our water volume problem. Justin and Chad installed them together and it has made a HUGE difference. I can now take a shower and not worry about leaving with soap in my hair, do more than one load of laundry, and wash as many dishes as I please. But most importantly...now I can water my gardens :) hehe
