"I would be surprised if there were not rams in the lake District."
Indeed. But out here, absent reticulated water supplied by a water authority, our first port of call would be for tanks to store rainwater. With a more-or-less-known annual rainfall and the requirements of the household most people don't need to buy in water.
The wettest place in the Lake District apparently gets about 130" of rain a year (nearly five times Melbourne's annual rainfall) and the mean rainfall for the District is about 80", so surely the first and obvious option would be on-site rainwater storage tanks? (In fact, wouldn't you install tanks even if you were relying on pumped water?)
