    Pressure Tank Inline, with City Water, does you no good if you do NOT have a Check Valve inline as well....

    Here's a pump we looked at, it can be solar powered, big thing is how much water do you use daily. Hand Water Well Pump Shallow Or Well Deep Wells

    About 3,000 gallons per month.
    I have a new only dropped once 255ah 24v warehouse tug battery to power my well with.
    Oh and about 7.3Kw worth of panels to pick and choose from.

    The last week has been rough. Water outages 7 times that I know of in the last 10 days.

    It's almost like they want to turn NM into Venezuela.

    Listening to the 88101 mayors election they all agree there is a day of water reconciliation is coming.

    The water coop raised the surcharge $25 a month about a year ago and put us under emergency water restrictions for July 2023 with no prior warning that I'm aware of.

    I think there was a warning. I believe NM is part of the Colorado River Compact. There have been stages that have been hit over the years that have restricted each states consumption .. and NM got one of the hind teats.

    As Sam Kinnison says .. Move to where the food (water) is.

    That's where all the other assholes are. The area between I-25 and I-35 is about 25% of the lower 48 land area but only about 3% of the US population lives here. It's strategic important is minimal enough to be a waste of military hardware to try and occupy it and there are few resources, anyone wandering into this area would likely die of dehydration, exposure, etc and be eaten by coyotes.

    The 2 videos explain why only 3 or 4% of the population lives on about 1/3 of the country.



    The 100 million dollars they just spent on the water pipe line to bring water from Lake ute to my area is only going to get a few years of use out of it.
