Easy Off-Grid Ways To Get Water To Your ‘Dry Cabin’
Image source: offgridworld
Living in a “dry cabin” saves not only water but also money. While this may not be the reason you chose to live in a dry cabin from the start, the longer you do it, the prouder you become when you realize that you only waste one bucket of grey water every two weeks or so.
Dry cabins are perfect for off-grid lifestyles, but after a while, some people may begin to look at options for running water systems to cut down on hauling water and paying for facilities regularly. Converting a dry cabin may seem expensive and time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some ways to dig a well and install plumbing or bypass the extensive system for something simpler and more suited to your needs.
Before you go out and start digging a well, take your land survey to a state geological office to decide how deep you need to dig, what layers you will be digging through, and if water conditions are suitable enough to draw from. Also, take a trip to the local utility company and make sure there aren’t any sewer, gas or power lines near where you plan to dig.
