Nor have I had to reply on one. I've seen it, but never lived that far
away from a bigger city area to have it be the water used in the house.

I somewhat suspect from where I've lived, that septic systems are more
common than wells used for the house's water, on average until you get
to truely rural.

I'd also say in the long run, both are cheaper. Here, they tack
everything they can to the water/sewer bills. Highest prices I've seen
anyplace for that. People are getting angry about it now that it's
over 150$ a month in fees, not related to the actual water use. Storm
drain fees are the worst part. Yes, when it rains a lot, they go up.
They say it's to pay for maintaining them, but there's little sign of
anything being done to improve them.
