Farm I grew up on had cistern for washing etc, but well for drinking, cooking, & livestock. Cistern was filled by rain & snow melt off roof, hand pump on kitchen sink. Well was deep, drilled to 400', but pump cylinder at 150'. Mostly used windmill power. Well was on higher ground with large storage tank, gravity fed to tap in hog barn, tank at large barn for cattle. Drinking & cooking water was bucket on kitchen table. If no wind, house water was hand pumped. Before we got electricity in 48 or 49, had JD hit-miss to get water, later got elec motor on pump. To keep this tractor related, if Dad turned on water for cattle tank over noon dinner time, he would hide the tractor (Farmall Regular) crank at water valve to prevent forgetting it & tank from running over & making a mess.
