We don't have a choice as we live over the river and through the woods 35 minutes from any town....we have a well that is 629 feet deep and puts out only 3 gallons per minute. This is our second well. We have a 2500 gallon water storage tank and that really helps. The only time we have trouble is if a pipe breaks and drains the tank. But, boy, oh boy, does our water taste good!
