The town water supply at Baj stops at the base of the hill where all the fruit blocks are situated. This prevents the overuse of water on the fruit trees but makes problems for the increasing number of residents who want to live on their block fulltime like Steve and Timi. Water tanks freeze during winter so cannot be in the open like here in Australia. To prevent freezing they need to be at least a metre underground, Some pics relative to this.... |

 A 5000 litre tank goes into a hole on top of the hill in the middle of the properties from where gravity will feed it to where needed |
|
 That tank in place. Note fruit trees in flower |
|
 Down beside the house another tank is ready to be buried |
|
 In its new underground home |
|
 Under the front terrace of the main house there's a third tank |
|
 Steve has sieved the spare soil to remove the bigger stones and then covered the tank. Still a way to go to reach the desired level |
|
 Slowly getting it more deeply covered |
