Besides hauling garbage into Dunmore once a week, some of the other chores I find myself doing on my days off are; hauling compost out to the back, taking the recycling into town and hauling water! This in addition to the "honey-do-list"!
This is the easy way of hauling water, 1,000 gallons at a time! If I fall behind I borrow a friends tank and trailer. Our cistern will hold 3,600 gallons. This saves us $75, the cost of getting a water truck to fill the tank when the low level alarm goes off at 1,000 gallons remaining.
We purchased a 185 gallon "turtle tank" that sits in the back of the truck, with this I can keep the tank topped up by hauling a load on my way home from work.
The cost? 1,000 gallons costs $4 and the "turtle tank" costs $1 to fill!
