There are places out here to get water free if you want to haul it in a truck
tank. A lot of people do that. There's a spring in Boxely valley where some
go. In huntsville, there's a municpal spring, but there's signs saying its
not intended for drinking, but most who use it do drink it. i think its very
inexpensive, maybe .50 for a whole truck tank. .50/gallon is theivery. if you
lived near me sage, you wouldn't wear out your welcome. you could just park a
spare tank in a trailer and let it fill from our overflow and come swap them
out when you'd used up the first. that could go on indefinitely. our spring
isn't a high flowing gusher, but its plenty water most of the year round. we
usually only have to ration it during late summer and early fall, but this
fall has been exceptionally wet. our water recharges from the south of us
where only a national forest is, no chicken barns or cattle fields, thank
goodness. i still filter it, though.
