We couldn't fill a drum, the presure tank is empty and the reserve tank, ( 80 gal.) is only half. This has now become serious. Jimi
This is what we did last summer when our well was semi-dry: Two 55-gallon Rubbermaid plastic 'trash' buckets we filled with water and put one each in the upstairs bathrooms and two in the basement as backup among with three BIG barrels (I don't know the manufacturer they were pretty old but i estimate them at at least 60-70 gallons) behind the house (under the porch so the sun's UV rays wouldn't cook and fragment the plastic)...in cool weather it was one mad yell we let out when taking a shower but in hot weather, the cool water was heavenly...try it. The system hasn't failed us since.
