1960s Devon.
Electricity - yes - as long as there was diesel for the generator.
Water - bore hole with insufficient capacity for 100+ cows. So, water was carried from a stand pipe in the next village in an 800 gallon ex army water tanker - enough for a couple of days in each trip. Fortunately, the same village had a pub with a petrol pump so the tanker did not have to deviate from its standard route in order to replenish the tank. Unfortunately for the pub landlady, the pump was a manual wound device with multiple turns per gallon.
Mains electricity reached us in 1966. Mains water around the same time.
Ironic really, since the Roadford reservoir is now at the end of what was the farm access road.
