I am asking because I have no idea. How many livestock farmers use rural water? My parents use their well for their cattle (they have maybe a dozen head).
Rural water rate increase?

I'd surprised if many people can get a well drilled (plus the tank installed etc) for $20K these days. I had a new well and tank installed in 2018 and mine was 25K. Most of my neighbors since have been higher still. That's paying years of utility bills up front.
They haven't fixed all the problems yet. That's why they're still raising water rates.
Cousins have had to the last few years. Rural water called the day they opened it up last summer to be sure there wasn’t a leak
That carbon pipeline that Summit wants to build takes lots of water at the beginning of the process, not sure where it all gets used but is a bunch.
Meh, had a well before rural water went by, had it after, on 30+ years I've done the pressure tank and the box. Probably less than a grand total. Building new would probably hook onto RW but wasn't worth it since I've got a well.
Actually no, I can't, but thanks for your input, condescending ass clown.
International Paper is the second biggest user behind ADM. The treatment plant on the west side is almost exclusively there to serve the industrial customers on the south side.
A lot of turkey growers use it so they don't have to treat well water. I don't think it's very common for pigs and cattle
I know a professional well driller must be hired. But I thought if you owned an acreage that you could hire someone to drill your own well on your land with approval from county supervisors. Where is the acreage located that you can not do that. Please post your link.
Being on rural water doesn't mean you necessarily live in a rural area. A ton of small towns are served by rural water and there are charters and covenants which prevent wells from being drilled at both the city/township level as well as the HOA level.
I know this is hard to stomach but you don't know everything about everything.
Acreages not a part of HOA’s or small town incorporated areas then would be able to contract a well driller to drill their own well? HOA’s and City limits usually always have restrictions.
I am merely asking questions to determine whether there are limits in place for actual farm acreages. I do not know everything and do not claim to.
So when a person purchases any property they should be aware of their water sources and requirements. No matter where they live. And they likely accepted their water source restrictions when they purchased their property. Kind of like when you considered utility bills and such when trying to find a place to live.
By "merely asking" you mean like this.......
I think IcSyU is correct in observing that with that post you are being a.........
Depends on depth. If you sand point the well may be 7500. If you have to go 250-300, talking probably 10k. Maybe less if you don’t need high volume. Last I did was 40 gpm.
