The water table is relatively high...get some friends together to drive a pipe about 30-40 feet in the ground and you should be able to hit ground water.....then just need to hook it to a pump and connect it to your plumbing and you're off. I think the water is a little hard and a tendency toward some rusting and discoloration of fixtures...... but there is no $50.32 service fee once you get through those upfront costs... Oh and those pesky purification processes...
