Wondering if we keep our well will it freeze due to non use in the

I would refuse public water and sewer. You will pay for that and it
doubles every 4 years.


Good points. Around here county water is $4/1000 gals. To get 1000
gals from my well costs about $0.08 which includes amortizing the $600
it costs me to replace the pump and pressure tank every 20 years.
