Water Tank Refreshed With Fresh Paint
The interior water tank was repainted last week. During painting water was pumped directly into the main supply 24 hours daily for several days. A check valve at the west end allowed continuous flow. Housewives missed the waterfall after the valve closed. Refill took 24 hours from the old wall, which could only supply two hours of pumping. The old shallow wall pairs with a new deep nine foot water well offering abundant supply. Water from the drip remains interchangeable between wells at the pumping station.
