Growing up in mid New Hampshire we lived in two houses with wells and
septic tanks. Never a problem.
I suppose that the difference was that we knew what we were doing and
the U.S. wasn't, in those days intent on controlling every act the
citizens make.
John, I expect you simply never knew the problems because of your
young age. Septic systems in particulsr ned constant maintenance.
Even outhouses have to be relocated far away from others when they
fill enough to be covered over with dirt to cap them off. Water
treatment plants are not terribly complicated but what do you do
with the brown water?
No Tom I do/did know what I was doing.
Anyone with the brain p0wer of a cockroach is aware that you always
build your water source up hill from your septic system which requires
very limited service (obvious you don't how a septic tank works).New Hamposhire is mostly flat. what is it you were saying about brains of a cockroach?
oh dear gawd...did he really write that?
lol...wow, that isn't is cock-roach brain, that's complete lack of
cognitive function.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Mountains_(New_England)
"The White Mountains are a mountain range covering about a quarter of
the state of New Hampshire and a small portion of western Maine in the
United States. "
"In all, there are 48 peaks within New Hampshire as well as one (Old
Speck Mountain) in Maine over 4,000 feet (1,200 m), known as the
four-thousand footers."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Range
"The Presidential Range is a mountain range located in the White
Mountains of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It contains the highest
peaks of the Whites, "
"Because of the poor weather conditions, the Presidential Range is often
used for mountaineering training for those who go on to climb some of
the world's highest mountains, including K2 and Everest."
What percentage of the area of New Hampshire do you consider to be
"mostly flat"?
Notice the mountains and hills?

I could provide a link to a topo map for you, but then I would need to
show you how to read the map. It's your claim and you get to prove
it.
Looking at various relief maps of NH, I can's find any part of NH that
is flat:

To be fair, parts of the seacost are quite flat. The Granite State
Wheelmen host an annual century ride, which while claiming over 3000'
feet of total climbing, doesn't have any any individual climb over 100'.

This isn't quite what you claimed, but still interesting:
"How much bigger would N.H. be if you flattened out the mountains?"
<https://www.nhpr.org/environment/2021-10-01/how-much-bigger-would-nh-be-if-you-flattened-out-the-mountains>
"According to his calculations, New Hampshire is 133 square miles
bigger when you iron out the wrinkles, which is just about 1.5 percent
bigger."
I'm taking a break from stacking firewood. Everything aches.
mountain but due to the steepness of the road not DOWN.

hence the Auto road name, it’s not the gradients but that they are priories
are for cars who pay for the privilege to use the private road, I believe
there are gravel roads that one could ride down.
Nope, there's only the one "road". All other paths up/down are hiking
trails, not navigable by bicycle - well, maybe if you don't mind walking
down 40% grades carrying the bike over boulders.
If you go to Strava and look at the heat maps around mt washington,
you'll see _no_ cycling activity other than the auto road.
Bikes are only allowed once a year or so for the hill climb, and even then
have to car back down.
