water

The 5,000 litre tank on the left collects rain water from the shed and carport and the 12,000l tank on the right collects water from the house. About once a month I use the petrol-driven pump to pump from either tank to a 7,000l header tank which provides gravity-fed water to the house. The pump can also take water from any of the 3 tanks to feed the white fire hose in the event of a bush fire. All tanks are Aquaplate. The lowest the water level has ever been is half capacity.
