[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 730480, member: 1963"] I had municipal water but a septic tank up North. Make sure your tank is inspected and the well tested before you commit to move in. Make any repairs/rectification the seller's responsibility. With my septic tank, I had to be careful of what sort of toilet paper I put down. (no cushy stuff even if it said septic safe), NO WIPES OF ANY KIND, and no tampons. I also fed it Rid-X monthly, had it pumped out every 4-5 years. I also had a capped bore on my property, and with the frequency of city water outages, looked into bringing the bore back online. Unfortately, testing showed contamination that while the city plant could handle it, wasn't do-able for a household situation. Pity as water rates were outrageous even without paying sewer. 1 person. 3 quick showers a week. Dishes daily for one person, plus washing pet dishes daily, plus wash twice weekly for one person. 120 dollars a month! [/QUOTE]
