I will pass on the wind but we could sure use some of that rain. I have
a dug well and a cistern. I collect some water off the roof, but most
of it is delivered and at $55 FOR 1500 gallons, we take it easy on water
use when we are on the cistern. Some summers I have to switch to
cistern in August and by September the well is back up up. This year I
switched to cistern in June. I tried to switch back last week but it was
sucking air. I took the well cover off last week and was surprised to
see it is still dry. It is not just low. It is dry. It will take a lot
of rain to permeate the ground enough to get it filled up again.
