Water Status:

Outside Potable Water Tank Level: 20 gallons = 75.7 L

Trailer Potable Water Tank Level: 20.5 cm from the base

Potable Water Meter Reading: 25360.2 gallons = 95998.5 L
[ +73.3 gallons since February 1, 2008 ]

Notes/Comments:
Outside potable water tank measurement is in units of inches, measured
from the base of the tank. Grey water was pumped into GreenHab this
afternoon.

Out to toilet meter reading generates an error; however, value was

incorrect.
