My wife would like for us to have a water well dug onto our farm for househole water. We currently have our water coming by a community water service (a pipe line). My wife is thinking that if something was to happen to the water service due to a storm or other disruption, we would not have water for an indefinate period. The driller said that the well would cost approx $6,000 in my area. If electrical power was to go out I would still have to bring the water to the surface with an emergency generator. My question is this: Instead of a new well, I was thinking of installing a 70 gallon tank which could be plumbed in series with the existing community water supply. If the community water supply should shut down or if there was a power interruption, I would still have 70 gallons of water available for household use (assuming that the tank was at a higher elevation that the house so that gavity would feed the house. What wrong with this idea...? Thank you, Ken
