Mine arrived yesterday. $26.10 for the month. You need to move out of
that hellhole before your water bills break you!

My last water bill was $80.50.  I live about 60 miles south of Tom. We

BTW, this house was the first built on this street back in 1943, part of
a large plot of land that was since subdivided into at least six large
lots, and it still has nine acres of woods adjacent, with just two
houses in those woods.

This house has a well right outside the front door, with two pipe stubs
protruding through the basement well; but it was attached to "city
water" long before we bought the house. I'm told that some houses in
this neighborhood still use well water.

In the 1980s one friend tried to convince me to resurrect the well to
save money, but I couldn't be bothered. I don't think we ever exceeded
$50 per month.

I've had well water in four of my homes. The last one was drilled
while I watched. I miss the taste of well water.

Huge local variance in that.  Down in Manatee County, south
of you, I hated the smell of sulphurous well water. And I've
had very good tasting well water elsewhere.

I grew up on a farm in Illinois between Rockford and Beloit. The
windmill that pulled water from the old well had been replaced with a
new well and an electric pump for the house before I was born, but it
still drew water for the horse and cattle tanks. I really miss that
place. It's a Target Store today.

Last two homes were near Stoughton and then Mt Horeb.  Both had wells
and good water. Maybe it was because of all Norwegian people living
around those locations.

I lived on the boat in Bradenton and couldn't drink city water. City
water in Tarpon and St Pete Beach was no better.

The city water here sucks and I can only drink it whan it's mixed with
my ice tea stuff or with my bike ride Nuun tablets.

    Up in the surrounding ranches around here they used windmills to pull water out of wells for the livestock until minerals in the water killed the livestock off.

I have rancher customers who make beef out of grass. No rancher is going to risk a steer to untested water. Period.
