Our water is basically variations on the theme of what others reported above. Our variations are...
1)
Two developed springs produce 5000 gal/day in spring down to a trickle in August.
2)
Seven ( or more) springs waiting to be developed. Like the others the production varies seasonally.
3)
120 gallons in (3) 40 gallon water heaters.
4)
Two small streams cross our property. We have filters ready if needed. One of these streams were identified on a map going back to 1790 or so.
5)
Two rain barrel collection systems on the shelf. Never installed because our rainfall is adequate (for example the radishes often split due to too much water) for the gardens.
6)
Creek at the bottom of the hill flows year round and supports an avid group of fisher people. Once powered a grain mill. The mill and associated dam are long gone.
7)
Two 50 gallon barrels for storage. Never put into service.
2 drops clorox/gal to store water.
20 drops Clorox / gal to purify ground water.
8)
Boxes of pool shock.
To Make 1 Gallon of Bleach From Calcium Hypochlorite (Pool Shock)
- 11 Tablespoons of ~ 70% Calcium Hypochlorite
- 1 Gallon of water
Bonus
Poll shock could make one a Clorox tycoon.
