      Hope the plumber gets you back in business quickly ! We're on city   
   water here , but the cost for watering the garden is pretty high .   
   There's been a well here since we bought the property , I just never   
   utilized it until last summer . I don't know if it's safe for people to   
   drink , but it's sure doing a good job of quenching my garden's thirst .
