Great point. Do you know if you're allowed to just dig a well anywhere? Like if I was in Redwood City and I didn't want to use the monopoly water provider, could I just dig a well if my yard had room for it?
- ghaff 8y agoI assume it is specified by zoning/laws--although it probably varies. In general (unless you already have a well), I would also assume you're better off just getting town water if it's available. Wells are expensive and not necessarily reliable whereas water from the local utility is usually a pretty low cost, at least in my case. Same applies to septic. It's probably also going to be dependent on the town (presumably) whether you have to pay for a hookup if it becomes available.
