It’s similar here. We looked for all utilities when we bought this house. It is tough to find 3+ acres here that are not on septic and well but we managed. Now, if we could just get faster internet.
$300-500 every year or three is pretty cheap compared to our sewer service. I’d be curious what the electric costs are for a well pump but I imagine much less than I spend on water.
I originally was looking at a couple houses in the town I'm near, but the quarterly water and sewer bills were $300-$500. Some people are paying upwards of a grand. This house was in a perfect location, so well and septic it is. Ironically I have 1GB cable internet here.
Not sure what the well pump uses on electricity, but it's 5amp rated.
