For a number of years, the McLoughlin Gardens has been relying on our neighbour and caretaker Barry Godfrey to check the reservoir at the top of the steep hill and then run the pump to fill it. At last we have installed a new system, with a submersible pump that runs on electricity and goes directly to the house. Many thanks to James Powell, a McLoughlin Gardens volunteer, for doing the research and finding the right company to undertake the project - McGill’s Well Service and Supply. They completed the work in record time and did an excellent job. Below is a photo of the old pump, which continued to start every spring, over many seasons.
