Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Wonder if that is why they call it the desert. If you are not a desert rat then go back where you came from. It is not global warming it is overpopulation. How many square miles covered with ashpalt......for sure contributes to the temps......plus take away all the farm land that had cotton, corn......etc......wonder what people are gonna say when there isn't any water 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazz Report post Posted May 8, 2018 I had gone for a hike to the camera (which is now deceased) and my Geiggerig bag had leaked out and I didn't know it. Through the mouthpiece. I was pretty miserable when I got back to the truck. When I contacted their customer service dept, they wanted a pic of the 'damage'. I sent them this and a pic of the nozzle. Got a new bag. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosninocanines Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Really putting the pressure on the AES water haulers now we have stage 2 fire restrictions to deal with as well. No pumps after 9am so we have to get into the drinkers by 7am or 8 at the very latest. Hope to get some water in all the GMU 5B,7 and 8. Other organizations and G&F hauling around the state as well. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is your pump setup? How far are you pumping? Gas powered 5 hp trash pumps no internal combustion motors longest push is about 150 feet with 10 foot lift. Restrictions are from 9am to 8 pm so if we need to pump, because we can't gravity feed a drinker storage tank, it's early morning hauls. All volunteer and 2 to 3 hour drives. Trailers are 500 (2), 800 (1)and 1,000 (1) gallon when they are all up and running. Been looking into running electric pumps off inverters if it comes down to that, we could run some smaller sump pumps. All of this is worst case scenario before full forest closure if it comes to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious, if it's all volunteers doing the hauling, where does the $1,000,000.00+ cost for hauling water I keep hearing about come from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 Good question, some expenses I'd assume include: equipment, maintenance, fuel, insurance, administration fees, water cost Would be interesting to understand it more specifically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our little 3 man crew has moved 49,900 gallons of water over 3,100 miles of not so friendly N AZ backcountry and we have only been in 5B north and 7E. Others in 7W and 9 have probably hauled a lot more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
