Fixing The Irrigation Tank

Removing the tank had to be done this year! The hole it sat in had to be dug deeper so the tank could be burried. Previous to Mark implementing a new piping system, the tank was often accidentally overflowed by the previous owners when the irrigation water came in. When that happened, the tank floated up out of the ground a little further each time. So, Mark came up with an idea to fix it to work like a toilet--with a valve inside that would shut off the water when the float reach a certain level. The previous owners of our house had a great start to a concept when they decided to put in the tank. It just needed Mark to finish the idea by re-plumbing from the irrigation pipe to the tank to keep it from floating up out of the hole.
