That wouldn't normally be a problem, except that the catchment tank is flush with the back patio. That is, it is beneath the patio....which is on grade with the back entrance to the house. The rains almost caused the lid to lift up, and the tank to overflow onto the patio and then into the house. Very, very close.
Punawebbers, is there some sort of valve that you can put on the pipes that go to the catchment to tell it to stop sending water to the catchment --to, just let it run off the roof? Or would that just create more problems? Do I need an overflow valve for the catchment? Are there people that come and TAKE WATER OUT of a catchment for you?
Ah, Paradise. It gets complicated, doesn't it?
