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.

This is acceptable only if the water is good, and in many areas here,
it's simply undrinkable, hence the value and safety of public water.
