2012, fully operational
This photo is from 2012, with the cistern complex
fully operational in its current state. Rock was added on top of
the cisterns to keep the summer sun off the cistern lids, which
can impart unwanted heat into the cistern chambers. The cedar boxes
shown below serve two purposes: (a) to house the inter-cistern connections,
and (b) to house the dip tubes and valves for each cistern. All
PVC used in high-pressure sections of the system dip-tube and remote
bibb systems have thus been buried or shielded from UV damage. This
ensures the longevity of the system.
