    We Have Water!!!

    It's not much, but we have water. Clean, clear water at 226 feet flowing at about 3 gallons a minute. We are going to pipe it in so the water runs into our current holding tank. That way we won't loose any water pressure and the well pump only has to kick in when the holding tank gets low.

    I was running errands when the driller called me. I burst into tears in the middle of the bank! I am just so relieved that this wasn't a very expensive mistake!

    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

He thinks the problem was that we live on the highest point in our subdivision(which isn't all that high really!)--gives us a great view, but apparently not so great for other things.

    The holding tank about 900 US gallons. Right now we can make that last 2 weeks.
