#1: Rain water tanks
Posted on 2005-07-14 23:32:50 by SG1
We ordered 3 tanks to be delivered on June 18. On June 14 we had 6.2mm then
20.2 on the 16th followed by 6.4mm on the 17th. Postponed delivery as the
blacksoil was impassable.
Reset delivery for 1 July. On June 27 1.8mm on 28th 21.8mm on 29th 58.2mm &
the 30th 8.4mm. 133.6mm for the "dry month of June.
It was still too wet last week so today is thebig day, 6.2mm overnight. Just
walked the horror stretch and it seemed OK underfoot, only problem patches
where grey water has been. Fingers crossed & 7 grand ready.

PS Calculated missed 6000+ litres from just one roof, would have filled one
of the 2 big tanks, ah well I will cry in my fresh water.

Send your tanks via Sydney. We need the rain. ;-)
