So do I! You have to go pretty deep with a well here to get *good*
drinking water.


If your city is anything like mine, you'll just have to do without.
They won't allow you to put in a well, even on your own property. They
call it "stealing" the city's water (the city's term, not mine).
We lived for months after Katrina without running water to drink,
bathe, or flush. Of the modern conveniences I missed most, that was at
the top of my list.

The wells in my portion of the zip code go down about 260-400' to hit
the right kind of water and good flow. I pay for the county to come out
once a year and run a battery of tests. So far, so good.
