In our droughty area, having a well was the difference between having a pond and not having a pond. We saved the pond, the fish, THE VIEW, the ducks and a plethora of other wildlife with it. We also irrigate the grass and house foundation with it; without taking from the pond which is really counter productive in a drought. It's the best investment we have made to date on the property.

Oh, and the water bill from our "town" water went from $75-$80 per month to $25. With the increased electricity use, it's about a wash.
