WATER in Geldings Pasture

Last night Jo noticed the water in the geldings pasture was only half full. I called Dee and she called back and said the they often turned the water off if the pressure was too low in the house. The result is that the water to the water trough in the geldings pasture is not on and the trough can not fill. It is VITAL that we check this often!!!!!!
