Dig a well.

At about $150 per quarter, how long would it take me to break even?

Depends on how deep they have to drill. We put a well in a few years ago
because the sprinkler costs were getting ridiculous. (They are installed in
both the lawn and horse paddock areas). The well drilling guy told me they
try to get a well to produce at least 12 gals/min. They had to go down 512
feet for ours and finally hit paydirt ... or paywater and got over 20
gals/min. He said they hit an aquifer and we now had an artesian well that
tests purer than the town supplied water.

It paid for itself in about 2-3 years in our case.

Our water/sewer bill for the year is normally about $350. We have a lawn
sprinkler system that runs 3.5 hours x 6 days (6 zones one day, 6 different
zones the next) throughout the summer and early fall. Add to this the water
demand for a family of 3.25 (our daughter is only with us on an occasional
basis now) and I guess we have a pretty sweet deal.

If I were to ever build new on the (fresh) water, the river or lake would
serve as the water supply for the lawn sprinkler system. ;-)

In your case, it sounds like you struck gold Richard.

At the time we put the well in, our annual water bill had climbed to over
2k, providing the motivation for the well.

I'm still in the $600-750/year range. Guess I'll wait on the well.

Hey, Jim likes you now. A few days ago he was calling you names. Well,
you and everyone else here! I'll have to mark my calender, so I'll know
when it's "that time of the month"!

I might have to water the lawn two or three times in an average
summer...certainly not in the spring.

We don't need them in the spring either, but by mid-summer everything dries
up. When Mrs.E has the horses here, they will destroy the pasture grass in
the paddocks in a matter of a week with no water. Plus, the well supplies
the barn, wash station and drinking water for them. Horses use a lot of
water.

We do not normally run our sprinkler system till sometime in June. We
actually just started to run it this week because of the lack of rain.

Have you put the boat on the new trailer yet?

No..rained heavy all day. Should get it on tomorrow or Saturday am. (if
my son can find time in his busy schedule to help) I have a possible
buyer for the old 1986 Easy Hauler roller trailer late Sat afternoon.
