Well we are officially out of water. The big tank was empty as of Monday and today the last of the small tank went into the horses' trough in the driveway paddock. There is about 100 litres in one of the 200l barrels I use to collect water from the guttering on the side of the house that doesn't feed into the tank but it's all a bit grim really. Can't believe we are out of water already. This is just nuts!
Just as well the new tank is heaps bigger (5250l, the old one was about 2500l) but the problem is that it's still not full! There is about an inch of water in there, not even enough to reach the outlet. There is rain forecast for the weekend so I hope it absolutely pours down (although not on Sunday afternoon as I have horsey stuff planned!) and fills up the lovely new tank and waters the garden. In the meantime it might be time to start making a list of friends to stop by and visit - who just happen to be on town supply water!
