It’s raining

It is strange how quick you adapt to new situation like little supply of water. Before we flush the toilet we first check if the water is running. If not we don’t flush, but use a bucket. If it is raining we put a bucket under the gutter to collect water for flushing the toilet. We now have 200 litres of containers in the house and a drum under the gutter for roofwater. Also the new container with a tab and a small bucket underneath, simulating a kitchen sink is a huge improvement. The water comes on and off every other day, so we do not have to be paranoid about the water being on or off, like the first week. The first time the water was on it took us 2 hours to fill all containers. We are looking forward to implement roof water harvesting and getting our water filter system (in the container ) operational. This would mean we do not have to buy drinking water or cook our water any more. A great improvement environmentally seen!
