    Yes, we do have water via a hose from the Marina. However, there are a few strikes against the city water from the marina:
    1. It is not on year-round (seasonal)
    2. I don't necessarily trust it for human consumption (runs from hose under water)
    3. The marina will shut it off to work on it without warning (usually when I'm taking a shower!)
    4. On the busiest weekends, the pressure can be almost non-existant

    I have a shallow-well pump to pull lake water when the marina/city water isn't available.

    I will run it all through the sediment (anything 5 microns or larger), carbon (smell/taste) and UV light (anything smaller than 5 microns, e.g. bacteria, e-coli, etc.) filters.

      How about opening a Starbucks in your home. You could sell to the rest of your neighborhood...

          Sounds like one of the little joys of owning a floating house...

          We had a fishing camp in canada with that type of a set up. A bit of maintenance but overall not bad at all. I wouldn't want to be at the mercy of the marina for water if that's the way they operate. Have fun!

            Would I still be called a "barista"...or is the masculine form "baristo"

                        Dingle...that kind of rhetoric is what's sparking this "violence" toward the congressmen.

                                I know it sounds good, but it means my company didn't make as much last year as the year before...so yeah, bitter sweet...
