Last weekend we improved our water system in a major way, increasing our water security on the “homestead” and making our lives easier in the process.
We’ve known since early last winter that a failing valve under the winter water tank needed to be addressed (see Dodging a Bullet). We planned to insert a new ball valve into the system when we switched from the winter water tank to the summer water tank (see Fresh Water: Collecting and Conserving a Precious Resource).
