Thanks, JKB. I'll check out that link and see what I can learn. At this point, I know very little about the water table at our farm, but all of the 4 neighbors have wells as their primary water sources, so I know there's water there. We're getting city water by late summer as the local PSD is running a line from the main road up the lane into our subdivision, so I'll be able to tap into it, but I'd love to find an alternative to paying for any water for things like the garden. And, since we aren't building out at the farm for probably a few years still, I don't want to get into a whole bunch of site development with utilities until we have settled on where stuff needs to run to accommodate our house and all the landscaping, etc.

Thanks again for the info. I may get in touch with you about it if I have more questions.
