Well done.
460 feet. 20-25 gallons per minute. That’s it until we get power to the site (another long story). Then we install the pump. Then we get water.

Stone culvert progress
As we wait for out building permit, we’ve been busying ourselves with a few small projects. One is building stone walls over the culverts at the road.
