[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Septic and well water??? No thank you![/quote]

Out of curiosity, what is the problem you have with septic and well?  [/quote]

More maintenance for the owner. You have to get your septic tank cleared periodically, check for its integrity (this may be why the house is far back on the lot--due to the location of the septic tank) so that it doesn't leak, and be very vigilant about what kind of waste matter (toilet and kitchen) go into your system. If you have a leak, your lot will smell like sewage. See here for more info: http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/publications/Soilfacts/AG-439-13/ The good thing about being closer in so that you can attach to a public sewer system is that this is mostly maintained for you.

Wells also need to be vigilantly maintained. You don't want a leaking septic system contaminating your well water, for example. http://extension.umd.edu/environment/Water/files/well.html You also need to be careful about pesticide use and checking bacteria levels.
