Tapping A Seep - Spring Water Collection System Install
This video details the planning and installation of a spring water collection system installed in Huasna Valley just outside Arroyo Grande, CA. The water was emerging from a fragile, broad sand-seam seep, necessitating a unique collection and filter package design. The system is now gathering 2,300 gallons per day of high quality water for the multi-generational family stewarding the ranch.
A huge thank you to the entire family - we had a great time working with you guys on this project! Thank you for getting muddy with us!
Also a huge gratitude to @engineer775 for all of his excellent educational content on springs, spring boxes and spring development - well worth diving into if you're looking to do a project like this yourself!
