Often wonder if it would pay the Dad to have a tank created say a couple or 4 of these 400 gallon biscuit tanks on a stand about 10 feet higher than the shop & to keep some full of water, the structure could be built in rough timber & would cost very little, this may be worthy of consideration, it would certainly be a reserve should anything happen to the water mains, mains sure go wrong just when you require them. Twice within Dads recollection the town has been in danger.
