We haven't run out of water this year yet and i have used about 15,000 lt on the veg plot so far, thunder storm's predictions for next week end with about 50mm fingers crossed if not delivery from the fire bregad, and I don't smell yet 😂😂 not bad for just rainwater

Its v hot here at mo. but we had a wet winter and the well's held out amazingly this year. Its on a timer so it runs at the same time every day and there's a level control so that the pump can't run dry, which ever turns it off first.

In the past 15 minutes a day max has been normal, by the end of last summer we were only getting 6 mins per day and I measured that at a pitiful 170 litres per day. Since spring this year we've been getting 20 mins/400 litres per day and only the last couple of weeks has that declined to just under 18 mins per day. We haven't run out yet although one tank is almost empty.

A relief since we spent nearly €1000 on tanker lorries last year.

You do get complacent when you have water on tap, we spent 5k on drilling 10yrs ago but no luck ,the veggies just get enough to keep them going till the next rain August is supposed to be a wet month for us but not so far Thursday is forcast thunderstorms with 65mm hopefully, water delivery has increased here to cost is €145,00 and 2 beers for the firemen for a full load 12 m/3 so not to bad , do you pump it from a bore hole up to a tank ?,
And then it's the worries of Forrest fire's had one last year 20klm away and that's to close for comfort depending on the wind
