The bubbling has turned into a geyser today.
I took several photos and a video and ran through the water fountain a couple of times. It was delightfully refreshing . We could do with one of these come the next heatwave
Our local councillor has just come up for a look and is in deep discussion with K.
No lightening or thunderbolts .....yet
Out of interest, where does your water come from? Do you have reservoirs to collect rain water or run-off from the hills?
ReplyDeleteIt comes from a spring in the hills opposite. Then through a pipe under the strait and up to a reservoir near us.
DeleteA lot of islands now have desalination plants. I can see that happening here one day.
It's taken 20 years to fix the sewage plant and that's still problematic.
Heaven knows how long a desalination plant would take.
Yours will be starting to look like streets zround us in Piraeus - they ran with wasted water daily from people washing balconies and the
ReplyDeleteI remember those darn housewives and dripping balconies, wet sidewalks. I used to mop my balcony. Times haven't changed anything.
Delete...bother....streets in front of their houses and apartments. F wracked her brains to think of ways to redirect the wasting water onto the little bits of garden space on corners and at intersections. It would have made a world of difference to greening the environment around the city.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! We have a desalination plant here in Victoria, cost millions and has never been used. We went thru years of drought and then when the plant was finished the rain came!
ReplyDeleteI only just heard about these plants in Greece. I wonder what the water tastes like
DeleteCouncils just don’t care anymore. They’re just there to get their money It’s the same here. There is a huge pothole in the highway into a small seaside town five minutes up the road that was there before I left. It’s gotten so big they have now just covered it over with a steel plate and redirected traffic to only use one lane. That lane is now degrading due to excessive use.
ReplyDeletePeople can actually die waiting on repairs
Good grief. I thought australia would have moved a little faster, and cleverer.
DeleteI have a mental picture of you racing in and out of the water like children do! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteI actually went in and out a couple of times. It was blowing there was only a fine spray. Cooling but not drenching
DeleteIs there no way some nearby resident could harness this free water for their garden?
ReplyDeleteSome of it is running off into the olive groves. There are a few trees that will have a good harvest this year. K is trying to direct it to our lemon trees but there's a wall in the way.
ReplyDeleteNot far from here there used to be such an eruption of water and in the end it turned out that these were healing water with sulfur and other good substances. Over the years they built healing baths there.
ReplyDeleteWish this was healing water. It's certainly not healing any nerves
DeleteWell bugger about those pesky pipes. I hope they eventually get them fixed.
ReplyDeleteOne day. There's always tomorrow and tomorrow....hope it's not 3 weeks again. That would be an awful lot of water wasted
DeleteSuch a shame it is taking so long to fix it, all that water going to waste.
ReplyDeleteHe said 3 days, because of the weekend. We shall see
