Water news... It's Good News

Supply is irregular at best for the past few weeks. Had good supply for some time . Check with the management office next to the guard gate.
 
So apparently section 2 has been out of water for a few days. Was told we should see water in about an hour at 11am. 8:45pm and still no water.
 
Water's not flowing to the Cholla Bay truck fill station. All the resorts must be filling their huge tanks for the upcoming weekend.

You can add a small water pump, maybe one of those small pressure increasing domestic pumps, inlet side to the street supply outlet to one of your tanks. There is a lot of water sitting in the street pipes when the supply is gone that can easily be pumped out into your tank. A level sensing switch at the tank will turn it off when the tank is full or you can operate the thing manually when you are there. You will get a good flow. You will not be sucking against a closed system as the valves in other tanks will be open to admit air. As it is now a lot of that water drains into the lowest tanks when the supply is off. You are not stealing anything from most of you neighbors either.

Roberto, good idea,
But we are in Cholla, no city water, we have 5 1100L for 2 houses tanks, which now serves us fine,
If and When city water gets here is anyones guess.
