I don't have a water bill. I get mine from a hole in the yard. That is
one reason why I am interested in water quality. The other is because
I want to protect where I boat.
The water is one thing about Florida that I don't miss at all. The
carbon filter tank, water softener tank and whatever that blue chemical
you had to add to remove the pungent sulfur stink so you could take a
shower was a pain in the ass. We replaced all the tanks, filters and
equipment in the first house we bought down there with a fully automated
system hoping it would improve the water quality. It didn't. Bought a
water dispenser/cooler for drinking water purchased in 5 gallon jugs
from Publix.
We have a big aerator that takes out the sulfur and any sand we might
kick up, I have an R/O system for the drinking water and a water
softener. It is really pretty easy to maintain. The "city water" is
not much better and it is pretty expensive. Our neighborhood fights it
every time they bring it up.
