Sounds like you and neighbor need more water storage containers, to fill
when the water is on?

Interesting idea, to plumb in a "share tube". I like it.

We have a lot of power outages with lines coming here along treed roads.
In one extended one, before I had a generator, this neighbor had to get
water for his toilets from the creek a quarter mile away. When the
power was only out a few hours, they had run out of water to drink or
brush their teeth. Even with a generator, I still keep bottled water
and extra water for flushes. There are times that the well pump is
broken. When that happens I can hook up to a next door neighbor and
I've had them hook up to me.

If you don't have a few bottles of water, a flashlight, or a few extra
batteries, you're a FUBAR loser.



I've got enough and neighbor had to borrow containers too.
Neighbor's got plenty of money but if thieves ever broke into their
house they'd probably leave money on the table when they saw how little
stuff they had.
