Cistern Filtering System for Underground Water
In digging a cistern, build a deep underground arch and install a two foot neck with a bucket shaped bottom to hold five to six gallons. A filtering bucket sits in a cave shaped basin at the bottom, packed with brick charcoal slate and sand to slow filtration. A three inch sewer tile connects to the main cistern, allowing removal of filter material without disturbing stored water.

Instructions for ice house work emphasize sharp ice tools clean handling. Use an old crosscut saw as an ice saw and spread sawdust in the ice house. Wear felt boots with rubber arctics and a grain sack apron. keep dry clothing handy. Freeze blocks solid before loading, plan ahead to avoid thick ice, use two strong men with short tongs, and prefer blocks about 14 to 18 inches thick though six to eight inches can work if well packed.
