We had a drip in our outdoor water system. We have a tank in a super insulated room in a shed that holds the well pump for the irrigation and watering the animals in winter. We heat it with a couple of heat lamps. It works well until it gets down to zero. We tried a little heater and it kept tripping the circuit breaker. My husband tried to fix the leak later in the day yesterday and of course it turned into a flood. So he is working today and then going to the dentist afterwards. There is a slim chance he will be a able to fix it today. The temp is back up to 30 today but a big storm is coming tonight. Forecasting is always difficult where we live, but we will be lucky if we only get a foot of snow. The temps will be plummeting again with big winds. They call it a snow bomb. I may be without my lovely hydrants during what will be the worst part of the winter. Hope I will not be hauling water from my kitchen for the next few days.
