1CLG1970s2 storeyDetached second home, situated in remote woodlandThe property has its own private water supply, which comes from a mountain stream that has been dammed to produce a small shallow reservoir. From an inlet pipe near the dam, the water runs to a sunken settlement tank adjacent to the stream, which has three chambers. After passing through these chambers, the water is piped underground to a small pump room adjacent to the house. Here it is pumped through an ultra violet filter and up to a storage tank in the roof of the house. Rodents have chewed through a loose cable in the pump room thereby disabling the operation of the u.v. filter, but leaving the pump in operation.CExample 1
