Last week our water system was shut down for maintenance reasons; cleaning the two 10,000 gallon water tanks, shocking the system with a high dose of chlorine, draining the tanks, refilling them, checking the chlorine level and waiting for the official water quality test to be performed and then waiting for two weeks for the results, and being under a boil order until the results come back.
Sounds ominous, but in relation to so many others who have bad water quality all the time, or no water at all, our situation is pretty mild. All the bathrooms on the property were shut down, a couple of port-a-potties were brought in and there was no tap water for drinking or washing use. In the motor home we just used our fresh water tank, the water pump and were not inconvenienced at all. I disconnected our hoses from the spigot and with temperatures below freezing for part of last week and anticipated for this week, our on board water is more than adequate. One of the port-a-potties blew over in the strong winds Friday night, so those in the admin building had to use the inside bathrooms on Saturday, but flushed with high concentrations of chlorine and had to use hand sanitizer in place of washing. Today the chlorine level was within "legal" limits and the horizontal port-a-pottie was taken away by the septic swat team.
All in all, not too much of an inconvenience and much better than much of the world and even our own country has to endure. Another reason for us to be grateful; thankful for God's provision and His care and concern for us. Thank you maintenance, Steve's Septic, but most of all.........Thank You, Lord.
