It’s official, we have water!

After 5 or more years of rationing, our water is now hooked up as of 2:45
PM, the backhoe has left the building and our old shallow well buried. We
will be flushing the system over two days and in about two weeks we will
have the water tested. Will be draining and flushing the hot water tank
and the house lines today too.

Pressure switch is set to 40/62.

I just had a 20 minute shower and used up all the hot water in our tank.
It is difficult for us to comprehend just how much unlimited water we
have.

We can start using our dishwasher again, our clothes washer again.

Other than that I am sort of speechless.

We had a bit of a scare when we could not fish the electrical wire through our spare underground water line but we managed finally to pull it through.
