7624U Good ideas, the 12v pump would be a great addition...maybe even work for a solar application at the well and also for pumping water out from the creek. It would be good to know the flow rates and variations throughout the season.

The tank location will have to stay for now, the Water Works are located on a shelf of ground that was not taken away with the flood in the 30's it is elevated from the creek and the cabins below...the first one being aprox. 200yds down the canyon. The bank drops off on the right down to the creek ( image looking up canyon towards spring boxes.) ... there also seems to be a secondary system for filling tanks with creek water in drought conditions, maybe get that up and running again and it would be nice if it had it's own line...that would be good for hydro as well.

Have saws and will cut what is necessary. Hope to finish up with phase 1 replacing tank 1.

Of course fire mitigation and prevention is always on our minds. My long term goal is to do what I can regarding this...
