I live in town,on a water mai. Why would I need to store water?
Come on,I'll always have it right out of the faucet.........Right?
Yeah,until this morning.
Now I got everything I could,ready for winter after I moved in. I insulated the water pipes,got lots of wood stacked up,put plastic over the window,put heat lamps and heat tape on the lines so I didn't have to get under the house while it's cold.(hopefully ever)
Well not water this AM. Everyone else on the block has water but me.Not sure if I'm at the end of the water line or not,but no one else south of me.The rest are to the east of me.Folks across the street get their water from the alley.
And of course the water department is closed till monday,lol.
My neighbor let me fill a couple job sized water coolers so I have about 10 gallons now.
And I do have plenty of snow to melt if I need to.But in a couple days that could be gone
So I went down to the store and bought the 2 55 gal potable water barrels they had. Gotta love the Mormon community for that stuff (75% here)
Moral of the story is,you may or may not have water to your house 24/7. Being in construction and having broke a couple water lines, you would think I would realize this,lol
