utilities

My husband and I are the operators of our local water utility, a small system of about 30 homes.  Try googling the requirements for running a public water utility in the state of Oregon, and you'll see why our 'pride of ownership' is sometimes dampened by the stress of our responsibilities.  I'm not going to take you down that road, but I do want to share the source of our water. It's simply a couple of tiny buildings on 12.5 acres of gorgeous Pacific NW jungle, less than a mile from my house.
