Behind the Scenes of Public Water Storage
Robert Perrin May 2009
To raise money to go on a mission trip to Africa earlier this year my son Robert Perrin made a short documentary about Public Water Storage and Ron Perrin Water Technologies. Also see Roberts web page at www.robertstoybox.com
It is now available on amazon.com
He is hoping to use monies raised from this video to fund future mission trips. He is also working on a video of the June 09 Trip. He hopes to have that one available soon. I think he did a great job, get a copy and see what you think! Here is a short Preview-

The value of clean public drinking water
By Ron Perrin, Fort Worth Texas
Although we have come to take it for granted, there is nothing as valuable as fresh water. In simple terms, it provides life. Our life. Our generation, and in many cases for many generations, Americans have enjoyed fresh clean healthy water right out of a tap. Getting a drink of water from the kitchen sink or bathroom before you go to bed is something that is seldom thought about. It wasn’t always that way. Here in the west, bloody range wars were fought over water rights. Water has been fought over since biblical times. In the future, many say it will become more valuable than gold because there is only so much on the planet and atmospheric changes could change the amount of H2O that is fresh and consumable.
For now, we must maintain what we have, make it last, and keep it healthy. That is what this blog is about. Our public water systems are aging. Some modern looking water towers are now 50 years old. All water storage tanks & towers should be inspected yearly to confirm that the inside wter storage area is clean and free from the build up of sediment that can harbor harmful and sometimes deadly contaminants.
I invite you to read these articles about inspecting, cleaning, and maintaining water storage tanks. Here you will find ideas and answers of how you can maintain a healthy water system regardless of it’s age, while at the same time saving money, time, and possibly more important, fresh drinking water.
