Terry,
wouldn't it be easier to accidentally set fire to the river back and when the CFA arrives, ask them to fill the tanks while they're at it?

The first one was an accident, I doubt they'd believe a second one was an accident, and I lost quite a few $$ in stuff that got burnt in the last fire, so, no
We can buy water, by the truck load or from the mains trickle feed, the price either way more than covers the $$ for failed pumps etc

All the river water must still be up your way, hasn't reached here yet, The only time the river is high around here is when the wind pushes it up river, if the wind stops or reverses direction, the river level drops down a long way.
Not enough rain here to fill the tanks either, so I'm back to fighting with the river pumping to fill the toilet and garden taps water.

I see the weir has been dropped up here and it is just going through at the same level. Also the bottom park has been closed as the water is starting to creep through it. It is all heading your way.

If you leave it where it is, you'll know the pump is primed. Gotta think of the positives.

Terry,
Have you thought of tying balloons to the pump system?

Unless the oceans cool down, the evaporation (and then rain) is only going to continue.
Time to buy some inland acreage on a nice hill and watch the new tropical rain forests grow.
