My house has public water and well water in the basement that's only
available for garden purposes.
Does any one know what is the cost of using well + electric pump vs
public water? Let's assume that the water quality is not an issue
here.
I live in NJ (northern Jersey) and so far I only got 1 water bill for
$0. We have recently moved into the house so I don't know the bills
look like. I know I'm getting high electric bill mainly because of the
AC but not sure it the well pump is part of it.
Thanks,
Jack
"...not sure if the well pump is part of it."

Part of WHAT? The electric bill? If the pump has been running, then it is
"part of" the bill. Has the pump been running?



The pump has been running and it's part of my bill but how much of my
electric bills ranging from $49 - $275 is the well pump?. I just would
like to know from experience form other people if the well + pump is
more cost efficient than public water?



You'll need to check the pump and tell us its rated watts, as well as how
many hours per day it runs.



......and the price of water.
