absolutely, well + electric is WAAAAY cheaper. for city water they
charge BOTH for the water AND the sewage treatment.

well water is much better too instead of softened water (if you have
hard water). Ingrid

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,
