We have a water tank we fill from the well pump and that’s what we use for the house. It’s 2500 gallons and we refill once a week or whever it goes partway down, just to keep it topped off. Having 500 gallons on hand is never a bad thing. It’s amazing how much water you use just for basics even if trying to scrimp.
That’s got to be huge!
RElatives didn’t have town water, didn’t have a well. Had a 1200 gal tank strapped onto an old old flatbed truck which they would drive to the FS store in town and fill from a high volume overhead water spigot for a few bucks in quarters. Then they would take it home and empty it into the cistern. Finally got city water, just 3-4 years ago. What a nightmare.
