When your water comes from a spring far into the forest, no water in the house means an expedition. Here are some pictures from last Thursday.
-
- Poor water flow in our storage tank means a leak or plug between the tank and the spring, quite a distance away.
-
- Heading up the trail-less ascent to the spring with some pretty big wrenches.
-
- Ricco stops for a swim.
-
- The suspected problem area .
-
- Starting the wrench work.
-
- Almost apart but poor flow here means the problems further up. Off to the spring box close by.
-
- Spring Box.
-
- The inside of the spring box. High water.
-
- We pulled this root mass and a bunch of gravel out of the spring box outflow.
-
- This is what the spring box should look like.
-
- …and this is what the storage tank inflow should look like. Water pressure should be normal in a day!
