Getting City Water

Posted by John T on May 02, 2012 at 09:26:22 from (216.249.82.117):

Okay after forty years of living on several farms and having ONLY well water, while this is NO NEWS to many and just taken for granted by city folk, I WENT AND PAID AND SIGNED UP FOR CITY WATER TODAY. $750 for membership and meter set etc and line pushed under road

NOT because Im having water problems, but when we get ready to sell out and the new owner requires a mortgage and with alllllll the health dept and zoning regs nowadays THERES NO WAY WE COULD SELL HAVING WELL WATER (Shallow well 18 ft deep NOT any deep driven safer well).....I never had it tested here, the old man who lived here was over 90 and in good health till he died of old age n we raised 3 kids and none us have any health problems so far I FIGURED IF IT WAS TESTED THE HEALTH DEPT WOULD HAVE BANNED IT AND THROWN US ALL IN JAIL

I wont miss all those years of galvanized tanks and air volume controls (before captive air bladder tanks) and priming and freezing and heat tapes and heat lights and ONLY having trouble when its 20 below zero outside grrrrrrrrrrrr lol

The well was hand dug 80 some years ago with soft sandstone hand laid (no mortar) walls 18 ft deep (was prob over 20 but silt n sand has added some Im sure) 6 ft diameter. About an hour after a hard rain if you looked down inside you saw water tricking in. When 3 kids were home and the hour long hair wash n showers of teen daughters we would run dry in August droughts but since the kids left we dont run out

We wont know how to act

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
