We actually have two different water systems. Our drinking water comes from a shallow, hand-dug well and gets treated by a sediment filter and a UV light. We only use that for drinking and rinsing off fresh fruits and vegetables.
We get the majority of our water for washing, irrigation, etc., from the creek. We pump it onto a tank on the hill to give it pressure, and then it gravity feeds to the house.
