Water

It's either falling at great rates from the sky, or disappearing from our holding tanks. How can you have too much and not enough of the same thing? On Wednesday morning, I got a call that there was no running water in half of the camp. Not good. I checked one of our tanks which holds approx 22,000 gallons and it was empty. Not good. After spending much of the day looking for a leak, we figured out that the pump 360 feet in the ground that fed that holding tank wasn't pumping the volume of water it normally did. The pump had finally wore out. It was good to find the source of the problem but pulling and replacing pumps is expensive. The bright side of this is that because of the rain we've had, our underground aquifers were providing plenty of water to our other tanks to keep up with the demand at camp. Thank the Lord for providing. Today I'm enjoying a day off at home.
