Cistern 2011

For those of you not in the "know" we get our water from a private well which I think is awesome, but we only had 60 gallons of water on hand at any given time. So we decided (mostly me) that it would be a good idea and investment to install a cistern, which is just a huge cement holding tank The positive is it cuts down on our electric bill, will had years of life to our new well pump, provide constant "city-like" pressure, and provides us with 2400 gallons of emergency water storage. (Yes dad I had them install an emergency switch so we just plug the generator in and it will run the cistern pump, you didn't raise no back-woods boy!)


Kim's dad digging the rather large hole for the cistern to sit in.

The place cistern, before pump, cover and dirt installed.


Lava rock staircase Kim and I worked on to add a little sexy to the yard, and for those that have visited you know our yard is screaming for SEXY!!
