Location: SE Louisiana | Here is an idea...Buy a box of rubber bands.... hang one on the handle to the water turn-on..... every time you turn it on, slip the band over your wrist.... a constant reminder that the water is on.... when you turn it off again, leave the band back on the handle.

| The rubber band would not work for me. I keep one on my wrist to pull my hair up all the time. I would probably pull my hair up with it and still leave it running. I am thankful to be on a well... |

Just buy a unique color...
We had a well too and mom and I were doing this all the time... Dad finally came up with the rubber band idea.. Woe unto us of he ever found the water running and he caught one of us still wearing the rubber band..  |

| My husband did that once when I was out of town. He watered the horses on a Tuesday, and when I got home on Friday the water was still running! That was an expensive water bill! |

You should quickly shave your head and blame chemo anyway.. |

I'm not sure that would work.... I'd probably stare at the rubber band wondering why it's on my wrist!!! I normally will turn the timer on for 20 min as soon as I get in the house, to remind me something is running somewhere!
I got distracted some how that day... |
