Where to get water?

[INTJohn]

Yeah; next to air it’s sorta like of the utmost importance……..

Ok there’s a myriad number of places to get free water and I personally know of many spots across Murahka that I have used in my travels but today I ran across 1 less……..



Ca you believe this sh#t!?

I’ve been getting water from this faucet for I’ll bet 10 years now, maybe longer and just did on my way South in November. Vehicle dwellers been using it forever as I’ve been to this place often enuff to witness I’m not the only 1. Annoying to say the least but I know of another faucet tuckt away in a bush hedge less than 200 yards away and No Lock On It! and jonny boi used that 1.

Yet another reason for park passes, never been a problem to get water at a park even though it might require trips with a container. Heck I even got free ice where I was nobody likes smelly fish! Lol!!!

This faucet is in a park that every1 paid 4. Federal & State funds.

Yeah and those who paid should get to use it; especially since it’s been available for ever until apparently the last cupl months.

The 1 I used less than 200 yards away is in the same park.

So ... water is still available inside the park at a nearby location ... and the problem is?
I might be curious what caused the change, but it wouldn't get too high on my "(F#%KING A#%H0LS)" list ... lotta competition for space on that list.

 

[bullfrog !]

The only faucets I have ever seen locked off are ones that visitors left running continuously or had been shut off for maintenance to prevent water loss and hydraulic hammering when water pressure was restored, but you know things happen! Lol!!!

thawt we needed a new thread 4 all of us to post b*tchez & gripes on that wasn’t political.

Oh!, Wait……..

Yup... Do you drink that water?

My 2 week resupply is about 8 gallons of drinking water, and 5 for washing. I used to look for free spigots for wash water, but I've always done RO for drinking... which is 50 cents/gal a lot of places now.

In Yuma they have a "Salt Free Drinking Water" station that is only 10 cents per gallon which is plenty close to "free" considering how convenient it is (near the best Wally), and you can park right next to it, it has a hose, and it's very fast. I was suspicious of it since they provide no clues regarding whether it's purified in any fashion, but I figure it's just tap water that's put through a salt-free softener or something. Whatever they do gets rid of chlorine... it's tasteless anyway, and it didn't kill me, so...

Saw one in Parker too, but it was 20 cents...

I always filter drinking/cooking water thru my Berkey no matter the source. Wash water from unknown sources goes through a cheap Camco filter to keep the big stuff out of the plumbing as well. Just for fun I used to tie a white wash rag on the hydrant when I filled jugs it would be brown and had sediment after about 100 gallons had gone thru it.
