All is "well"

The salmonella contamination didn't affect our water supply but we were victim to our own private water crisis. We actually discovered the problem when a friend from Alamosa came out to take a shower during the water restrictions and we had no water pressure in the guest bathroom.








We did notice a stream of water out by the well but thought that it was from the snow melt. The snow is now gone and we still had running water. So, a call to the plumber informed us that the problem was much deeper.









The well service people came out with a backhoe and dug to the root of the problem, repaired it and, all is "well".


Turns out that the deep freeze we had last winter (the one that caused the hot tub to freeze and drain out) took its toll on the water pipe that goes from the well to the house. We HOPE that this is the end of the deep freeze casualties.
