Good flow rate. Wells often have advantages if you have good water and
no treatment needed. Before I added filters in my CT house we used to
fill jugs from a friend's well for drinking. So far, the water here has
been good.

Water and sewer will cost about $800 a year. Our sewer rate is much
higher than what we pay for water. Water last month was $18, sewer was
$41. Trash collection was $14 for twice a week pickup.
