From the sounds of it, (40 acre lots), the houses are
spread apart. Still, aquafier, might be spread over
many houses. The 5 AM test run sounds interesting.

Actually, I should be clearer that the *current* zoning
is 40 acre lots:

But, I think that huge minimum lot size is there only to
prevent *any* more building from going on in these mountains.

In reality, most people have half that size lots although
there are some that are 77 acres, and others that are as
small as 5 or 6 acres (probably nothing smaller than that).
