This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Currently getting water from a purification machine at the store, it’s expensive but we use very little right now. (42 cents per gallon)

We just got a 2,500 gallon tank, after I finish the plumbing I plan to order water delivery, should be about $200 to fill the tank. (Less than 1 cent per gallon)

After that I’m making a roof and collecting rain water. (Free water)

If you don't mind me asking. Where are you located that you are able to do this?

Arizona has several counties that are not as strict and allow a lot of alternative living options.

how far away does the water delivery come from?

I think it’s a local company, Met them at a local event for the alternative buildings and living off grid. We also met a lot of YouTubers there, it was super chill.

When I call them, I want to ask if it’s from a well, is it drinkable, etc. I do have filters and the UV light for water that I will add eventually.
