Hello,
PropertySupportNetwork.com is a new online marketplace/community

I live on the outskirts of a town and am hooked up to city water
although I don't live in the town.  When my town resident neighbor turns
on his lawn sprinkler (installed system) my water pressure drops to zero
and I have a six or seven hour wait ahead of me for service to resume.

If one toilet is connected to a septic tank and no sinks or shower, does it
get enough water?

I need help trying to figure out what would be the best way to do my
plumbing job.
I have a bedroom a long way from the garage.  

Regarding a post from long ago (Google is great).  I use a greensand
filter followed by a softener which uses salt.  I am wondering (more
now than ever)
1. if I need the greensand filter considering what Gary wrote long ago.

I accidentally put a  hole in an underground water pipe.  The pipe is about
3" in diameter and is flexible plastic.  It runs from a pond skimmer to the
top of a mound to supply water to a waterfall.  The hold is about 1/2"
square.   Can I plug the hole somehow  to stop the water ...

Whenever I open a faucet or flush the toilet I get a whistling until
everything is shut off.
Can someone tell me why,and is there a fix?

Is there a min. and max distance between the septic tank and the drain
field. thanks bill
