One more season of water

One more season of water

       I just returned from mostly checking my local RAM, which provides clean water for the normal reasons, as well as water for other things like keeping the septic system working OK, too. And the RAM was pumping  fine. Heck, I guess one could even use toilet water to mix drinks, best case.

            What was more fun, to me, was checking out the "highest" spring, elevation wise. It normally starts up around April 15th of the present year, but it had already started up . We did have a rainy summer which I guess is why the very early start, which is at the "dribble" level of output.

            The traditional routine is that this spring will increase its output into July until it fades again around October. Now that is rear-end backwards to most springs, but that is what happens. Local speculation is that all this is related to the local water table rising after the winter rains and snow, compounded by the delay that springs include, but nobody really knows for sure.
