This is next to the detached garage/apartment of this huge custom home I inspected today here in western NC.
The water source for this home is a combination well/natural spring with cistern…that is located about 700 feet from here near the main house.
The concrete manhole in the picture is similar to the other ones for the cistern…only about 10 feet deep and half full of water.
This appears to be an alarm maybe…red light on top.
It clearly has to do with the water supply to the detached garage/apt…
Water is inside the middle box, and it is leaking down to the receptacle underneath creating a dangerous situation.
I’m guessing a low water level alarm maybe…
some pics of the main cistern/well area…
I have a bunch more pics…but didnt want to over do it…
thanks!
