City slicker or country bumkin???

[campgottagopee]

Wondering how many live out inda sticks or are city folk.

So, you have city water and sewer or well/septic.

Me?? I'm a country bumkin, and yes I sheet in my own backyard

I can't vote. I have a well and a sewer. Odd, I know. My town is pretty rural. I considered myself a somewhat refined hick. :lol:

I have septic and town water. Does that makes us cultured if we combine the two?

My sewer is privately owned by a sewer trust made up of people living on my block- only private sewer in Boston that I'm aware of (the State House is, technically, a public sewer). But we have city water.

City water, no septic. Just a cesspool. Oh yeah, baby. I'm in a pretty rural spot, but the next town over (Webster) used to be a big manufacturing hub so they installed public water throughout most of the town many years back.

Country bumkin - well/septic - just more stuff to fix being a home-moaner!

 

[Dr Skimeister]

Well, septic and propane heat.....
Who woulda thunk in NJ??

 

[Glenn]

Well/septic. Our town has a really good power system though. In the 7 years we've been there, we've lost power only once or twice. Still, if a big storm is rolling through, a 5 gallong bucket filled with water resides in the garage...can't flush without power.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

city water and it's included in my rent..

 

[gmcunni]

city water + septic.

 

[nelsapbm]

We have our own sewer and septic. Our town is very rural and does not offer anything in the way of services, except for small highway dept for road maintenance and a town clerk. All other town positions are volunteer.
We prefer to live in the sticks and visit the city.

Septic tank under the front yard, and 235 feet below my backyard is where the well ends and provides my house with an average of 22 gallons a minute. (I keep thinking that one of these years I'm going to tap some of that pressure and get one of the backyard blizzard home snowmaking machines and make me a big 'ol pile of snow

 

[tree_skier]

well/septic for me 220 feet with hydrofrackin for 10.5 gal/min

 

[Moe Ghoul]

City sewer and water. We have a 5 gal spring water cooler we use for consumption.

 

[ripzillia]

20 acres, 8 miles from town and every once inawhile we call the folks down the road when livestock gets out. Its the neighborly thing to do. PS=Our wells are 350 feet or more. They actually sell our water to townfolks.:roll:

My husband and I run his family's business, Franke Septic Tank Service and Excavating.
We own two gravel pits, and specialize in Commercial and Municipal sewer and water utilities.

Same "crappy" career here Trekchick! Just remember that...."Their shit is our bread and butter" 8)

* I work for a utility contractor that specializes in the study and trenchless rehabilitation of municipal sanitary/storm sewers and potable water systems. I've been deep underground in places and situations that put the show "Dirty Jobs" too shame.
