Residents in San Antonio complain of high water bills. Wish I had their problem.
Our 600 ft well is dry. They can't just drill down further inside old casing. NOPE. Have start at ground level and drill down 900 ft through limestone shelfs.
Requires larger pump motor, new pipe, wire, casing, cement, etc..all for only $25k to $28k.
City water to hard? With a softener at full capacity I can get the hardness down to where San Antonio hardness starts.
Sure wish I had to worry about a $20 to $50 monthly water bill.

Perspective on Water
State of TX wants the top 30 ft of water from the Trinity Aquifer. Well digger interest on the county board say "Sure Take It." Talk about self interests and make work project this should rank high. Where is TV news investigation when you need it?
The drilling industry will be employed for years by the 2000 to 10,000 homesteads that will run dry and have to digger new deeper wells. San Antonio has assured water for it's growth by buying up water rights over the last 30 to 50 years while the counties around it are still giving up water rights even after years of drought.
