In my place running water is really expensive especially if you live in a big conurbation. But I can admit that running water in the countryside is not cheap,too.
It was the wise decision to build the well and save a lot of money..
First spring flowers.
As you can see in the photos above most owners install metal fences here which are more popular then wooden ones.
Is running water expensive in your place?
luckily not. i know lots of folks have wells in the US but i am grateful to be on water supplied by a local cooperative.
ReplyDeleteSo you are happy person
DeleteThe well is interesting. Water here is relative cheap in my opinion, but the poorest people might disagree with me. We often have restrictions about what water we can use in times of drought.
ReplyDeleteAndrew for me it was also very interesting
DeleteWater here isn't expensive it's just all the taxes and bonds the city expects you to pay.
ReplyDeleteI think in US water is less expensive than in Europe
Deletewater companies are funny in that we moved over the summer, same county just another town but over here we have a different water company, which is more than our old water company...our water bill itself isn't terribly expensive but the company adds things such as a use tax and other taxes which tack on another $20 on top of our water bill. glad these people were able to build wells!
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend if you have a detached house you can have a well bu living in apartment means you rely on water supply companies
DeleteThats a worry , expensive water, We pay ours with our rates. We have a water tank to collect water from the roof to help with watering the garden.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the house is easier to save water
DeleteInterestingly they charge us quite a bit for sewer fees on top of the water fees. Luckily, our water is pretty good here in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteKay our water is good quality too but so expensive
DeleteThat's not good if water is expensive.
ReplyDeleteMargaret I think Europe is really expensive comparing to US but I don't know what about Australia
DeleteOur water is not really expensive but I see lots of people taking our water supply for granted. I always try to collect rain water for my garden. Sometimes during dry period, in certain parts of our nation there is water rationing.
ReplyDeleteNancy you are right people don't save water
DeleteOur water is not very expensive. For a family of 6, we paid $80-100 or so every month back when I took care of the billing--which was a few years back. I doubt it has changed much since then. And our water tastes great. But a lot of people out in the country like us do use their own wells. Some have good-tasting water, and some don't. I wonder how the water tastes at the well you pictured. We have a well on our property, but it's not in working order, and we haven't needed it since we moved here.
ReplyDeleteBethany I think the water from the well is much better than from water supply company
DeleteIN some parts of the US, water is very expensive. My mom lives in Florida and does everything she can to conserve water. Where I am living in South Carolina we have a well and the only cost is the electricity to pump it to the house.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed you use the word conurbation a lot. It's a word I don't think I've ever heard used in the US, although I've seen it in print. Interesting.
Cynthia , onurbation is typically BrE a city area containing a large number of people, formed by various towns growing and joining together:
DeleteWe have city water and sewage, but I grew up with well water.
ReplyDeleteI really like that last shot.
I think water is a great possibility
