Water, Water Everywhere . . .

. . . but not a drop to drink.

You'd think that having land on a lake would solve the water issue. But our lake serves as a back up reservoir, so we can swim, boat & fish in it, but no pumping is allowed. Since we aren't living on the orchard land, it didn't seem to make sense to drill a well. So we bought 1100 gallons of cisterns. Next project: build a roof to cover them and an adjacent shed, each with rainwater collection to keep them filled. Simple solution.
