Try to find a 300 gallon plastic tank and set it near a corner of your house. Rig some kind of contraption to catch water in it. It would be great if you could find several of these. Here, they run between $10 and $75 each, depending on whether they are clean and what was in them. Always ask. Spending a few hundred now could buy you some time on that well, and of course, once you have a well again, you can use the rainwater for the chickens or the garden like I do. It would also be a good thing to have around several hundred gallons of water in the event of a wildfire.

We have a lot of 5 gal plastic buckets. We get them free from the movie theater in our minor metro, they get bulk dill pickles in them, so I know they are food safe. We are also saving all the store bought water containers.

Do you have containers to catch any rain should a tropical system come your way?
