Aid package for Marvo?...still not fixed the limit then!

Yeah, it's desparate....so desparate I've been on the plumbing forums for advice... Having Fun With Some DIY Plumbing - https://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/threads/having-fun-with-some-diy-plumbing.99967/

 

Have to say the plumbers have been very helpful, they probably haven't twigged I'm from the electricians forum...

 

Yep, it's surrounded on 2 sides by ocean but it's too salty to drink.

 

Yeah, it really is a sorry state of affairs. I'm not worried about the rumours of riots, rumours like this always do the rounds with any major event and the press just make them viral by using them as click bait. They never come to anything.

I stay on the Southern seaboard about 30-40 minutes drive from the city centre in a sparsely populated area and I'm fortunate enough to have a borehole on my property.

Up until now I've only used it for irrigation and filling my swimming pool but in the last month or so I've made some plumbing alterations and now use borehole water for everything in my house except my kitchen sink cold tap, my coffee machine and my soda machine, both of which are permanently plumbed items.

 

I've got no intention of standing in line for water. I've left provision to add filters and a UV-C germicidal unit and go completely off-grid with my water supply.

At the moment I'm ironing out a small issue where we were getting air from the borehole system causing the showers to 'spit' every few minutes. That problem is already sorted out for the mostpart. Later this week I'll start the installation of the filters and UV-C unit and probably finish them this weekend so by the time day-zero arrives and the water is turned off I'll be able to fully focus on quelling any local rioting

 

I don't think it will be much of a secret, I'm already getting requests from wifeys family and friends to supply them with water should the big day arrive. We really don't have much in the way of security issues where I am, we don't have bars on the windows, we don't have an alarm and most of the time we don't lock the doors or windows when we go out. That said, if a push came to a shove I've got a couple of well stocked gun safes.
