Hi, excuse me if my explanation is a little foggy.
I have an aboveground water tank, it was with the house when we moved in. Water from the tank to the house works perfect, no issues there.
My problem exists with water going into the tank. We have had endless amounts of rain the past few months and the tank is near empty, where our water usage from the tank is minimal at best. I checked when raining, nothing is entering the tank.
The downpipes from my house run into the ground, all of them. Next to the tank there is a pipe coming out of the ground up into the top of the tank. It spilts half way with a nipple on the bottom of the split length. The overflow runs out as per normal into the storm water.
I am curious whether this would mean there is an underground tank, or pumping system. It seems everytime it rains water pours OUT of a drain in the middle of my yard, instead of going into it. At times you could go swimming in the amount of water coming OUT of the drain. I gather this is all the water off my roof, which I want going into the tank.
Any sollutions/questions/explaintions would be much appreciated.
