You’ll pay by the foot to drill, and you’ll want a minimum, adequate flow for the house size. No guarantees on finding water or enough of it. Water testing may result in a variety of needs to purify - some just need a softener, other need UV and other items.

If you lose electricity, you lose water. Gotta have it for the pump.

All told, I think it tastes better and at least I know what’s in it!
Tx. Wow, that sounds precarious, well going dry and having to drill again? I also heard about the ground 'dropping elevation' (I dunno the correct term) if too much water is pulled up

How does well water compare to city water in terms of health safety?

Needing a well seems there will be way more potential prbs vs needing a septic tank.
