Discuss. Well or City water?

Regarding the Grundfos Video....that was good information but I had a hard time dealing with the bad acting and boring narration. I felt as if I was in my eighth grade cafeteria watching a sexual education film clip!

Your sex ed taught you about wells too? I thought it was an analogy but clearly I was wrong. Growing up in a small town in Texas all we had was well. I'm going with well. I have no dental issues and it always tasted better to me.

Just in case anyone thinking I am for water wells because I drill yes, I love to drill. However, we make MORE money when they run city water.

When people hook into city water the wells have to be abandoned. So, if one house in a mile needs a well, I have one job.

If city water to run and 20 housed in the mile hook into it. I have 20 jobs.

In fact, over the years we have had to buy extra equipment to keep up.

On a deep 5" well when we have to abandoned with cement, it can cost more than the well cost to drill.

For city water, you give for it either by your taxes or a monthly bill. While for well you get the water with the septic system when you purchase the house. Your continuing costs are power for a pump and support or repairs.
