Part I – Deciding on a Water System that Best Suits Your Needs
By Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell
Water systems and sewage disposal can be a tricky thing when you are building a tiny house in the country.
This has been an issue for us since we built our Little House over six years ago. First, we had to decide on the water system. During construction, we were running out of funds, so we first had a huge tank system and water was trucked in. That was expensive at $140 a load, (I’m not sure of the tank size, but it was huge). However, when we didn’t live here full time, it worked. I think we typically had to buy 2-4 tanks per year.
After we moved here full time, it just wasn’t economical. Even with trying to conserve water, we went through 1 tank every 2-4 weeks.
