Water Delivery Calculations

A few days back I asked for suggestions on how to calculate water delivery based on pipe size and elevation. A lot of people sent suggestions, some more precisely suited to my needs than others. TechnicalVideoRental.com gave a very detailed answer, here. I have confidence that even with five feet of elevation, and a two inch water line, my 1400 gallon water tank will give me enough gallons per minute to keep the pressurization tank filled.

I ran up to the property today at lunch, to see if progress is continuing. They have excavated the back a bit more, because we needed it to get the foundation in.



Here's the cistern, which arrived just as I was leaving.



It was lighter than it looked--three of us managed to slide it off the trailer without any great effort--and yet seemed very durable.

Here's the view from my back yard.
