I have an idea... don't live where there is not a water source. Or dig a well. Where I grew up we had a deep well (200 feet). When the deep well dryed up, we had another one drilled. While installing a pump, a fiberglass pole was dropped down it and we could never use it. So we drilled 4 point wells. All the while, city water is piped right across our front yard. Even with all of the wells and points drilled, and a water softer installed since the water points were drawing hard water, it was still cheaper than tieing into the city water across the front of our property.
I'm not even including the cost to the taxpayer to put the pipe across our front yard. Why would we all pay to pipe water to Apalachia again?
That's cool.
I had well water also while I was growing up (we lived on a farm).
Can't say as I miss it, though.
But I think you missed my point, which was that America needs to prioritize what it needs to spend money on first.
Agree or disagree?
