Consider Storing Water
There are some locations that PDWA requires members to have a storage tank.
-
If your home is up a hill from our main line you will need to have a storage tank and a booster pump to keep the tank full.
-
We do not design these systems. There are pump, plumber, and water companies in the area that can design, install and service tanks and pumps for you.
Having a storage tank that is fed by your Perrydale water meter and then flows into your house can be helpful in many ways.
-
The storage tank helps any sediment from the wells settle out of your water.
-
You can regulate your pressure with a booster pump or gravity depending on how it is set up.
-
You will have XXX gallons on hand should you need it for an emergency.
-
The Red Cross recommends having three days of stored water on hand for every person and pet. Consider your farm animals too.
If you are considering a filter, call the office for suggestions.
