Day 3 of water rationing. I suppose I should go down the road for a shower! I am finding it hard to believe it is so difficult to get hold of a water supply in this day and age. I keep thinking that if we were elderly (no jokes please) we would be struggling to do all this chasing around for supplies and meeting dead ends. Who cares? Not the council, not Scottish Water that's for sure.
Anyway enough moaning - the latest is that we can source some water to top up the well but we have to get the Water Diviner to check that it is not a 'water table' well. If it was then any water poured in will just dissipate into the general underground aquifer.
We cannot find a Bowser service that will connect up to mains anywhere locally so for the moment we are just using rainwater from the barrels for flushing, the same, boiled for washing up and bottled water for all else. Waiting to see if local borehole company has spare IBC tank to enable us to store large amount of water (courtesy of The Squirrels we hope).
My biggest concern is that we wont have a proper solution by the time Harry's Mam comes to visit next week.
