A septic tank also costs acreage that city homes do not typically have available for less than $24,000.

  Which is why cities have city water systems, yeah, but anywhere outside of the city, septic and wells just makes more sense.

    >anywhere outside of the city It's not quite that stark. I live in a population ~7K ex-urban town. I have town water. I do have a septic tank although I believe a portion of the town near the center has sewer hookups.

    There is an environmental downside to septics too. Where I grew up there was a sandy aquifer that caused nitrogen loading from septic run off in ponds and marshes. This attributed to algea growth, oxygen depletion and marine species die-off. There is now an extensive effort to sewer the region.
