[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 730458, member: 18516"] I have well and septic. We have been in our house for 15 years. The house is 30 years old. We have our septic pumped every 3 to 4 years and we flush a ridX every month. As long as you keep up on the septic it shouldn't have any problems. I would ask to see records of when the septic was last serviced. You can call the company and ask them if they still have the report as to what condition it's in. We have had to replace our well pump and pressure tank. The pressure tank was $800 the well pump was I think around $1000. It's not something that will have to be replaced often. Ours were at the 20 year mark. I know people who have never had to replace them. As for the well, we live in N. IL and the water tables around here are pretty good. You should be able to find out from the county clerks office how deep the well is on property you are looking at. One of the cons of having well water is when the power goes out you will only have a limited amount of water because the well pump is electric. One of these day we are going to buy a generator so that won't be an issue. [/QUOTE]
