Just lately I was showing a country property when the buyer asked the question "where does the water for the house come from? And where does it go when you're done with it?" While I'm quite comfortable with country plumbing, I could tell the buyer was really working hard to visualize what the heck I was talking about.

There are some parts of our rural country side where no matter how big your well driller rig is, you may not find drinkable water. Not the best situation, but living with water saving devises and having water hauled to an underground tank near your home can work very well.
Many people think that Montana has unlimited water resources, this is very far from truth. In many parts of the Yellowstone Valley, water can be found in the ground at only 5 or 6 feet. Just up the hill, the water may not be found for 700 feet!
The cost of well drilling is often a big consideration in the domestic water plan for a home. A home with a well sells faster and for more money than one without!
