OK, SgtBob...give up your secret. :)
Years ago I had a friend that hitched a large tank to his truck and went around when he knew his friends were at work (me included) and filled this ginourmous tank up on the sly. When all of our water bills soared...we got suspicious. He was busted!
So if that’s how you do it...please don’t tell me.
I had a well dug, 24 years ago. It cost me $500, and has since given me good, clean water, and 23 years of various veggies, out of my garden.
The small electric pump uses pennies per day, and I have a hand pump for power outages.
All the folks around me have wells....I think I’m the only one with a manual pump, though.
Not that big of a secret.
