Installing our Rainwater Storage Tank




Last Friday (12th August) Glenn the Plumber came to kindergarten to install our rainwater tank. He plumbed a pipe from the spouting to the tank, put an overflow pipe to the storm water drain just in case we don't use the water quick enough, put in two taps - one higher up so the children can get a bucket underneath and one lower at the bottom of the tank that we also want to install a hand pump and half barrel up to in time. We will use the rainwater to fill our water trough for children's play and for watering our garden. What a great way to recycle rainwater. We can't wait for the tank to fill so we can start using the rainwater. Thank you Glenn.
