Electricity, water, garbage in Folleterre
Water in Folleterre
Several taps are available in Folleterre ; one in the kitchen, one in the breakfast barn, one just outside the house, nearby the dish dance area.
- For showers and dishes, we use water from the fire pit. The water is kept warm by the fire underneath the barrel, maintained by a volunteer faery, nicknamed The dragon. Faeries refill the barrell with water from the spring nearby. The fire under the barrell is turned on by the dragon in the morning, and refilled several time a day, when needed.
- For quick face clean and tooth brushing, faeries use the tap nearby the dish dance area. It is recommended to bring a biodegradable toothpaste with you.
- Water for cooking is taken from the white plastic containers located in the kitchen and the breakfast barn. When water from the pumps gets capricious, faeries sometimes go to nearby town of Ternuay to fill the containers at the townhall tap.
