Water delivery, part 2

18 06 2012

Today was the second delivery of water to the catchment – and this time, it went directly into the storage tank.

Cecil Foster of Foster’s Water prepares to carry his water hose up his ladder to pump water into the tank.

A closer look at the drinking troughs.

View at the top: the water hose inside the hatch on top of the storage tank. See the glitter? That’s the water! The tank is now nearly full!

I should have taken pix of Chrome’s band on our way in; they were right off the road. They had moved away by the time we headed out. But close enough to take advantage of this good water.
