Saving for a (non) rainy day

We installed a tank last year (ok, Dad did all the work!) and it was quite a while after installing it before there was finally enough rain to fill it.  It was great to be able to water our plants during the water restrictions with our own harvested water, but for the past few months there has been so much rain we haven't needed the tank.

It has been full for weeks now, and if you look closely you can see water running down the side from the rain that fell just before I took this photo.
