    Wells aren’t infinite…

    If you’re not using enough it overfills.

    But the septic tank has drainage and can distribute the water.

    Like. I don’t really get what you’re trying to say

      Yeah, you’re correct, I was just worried if you have enough neighbors, and they don’t realize they’re all affecting each other with water usage, you might find yourselves having to dig deeper wells.

        Even in the rare densely populated areas where wells were common, there’s not many left.

        Most people in my area just hook up to city services instead of sink more money into their systems for substantial repair. I don’t think there’s many others left at this point, except maybe the 100+ year old houses whose plumbing wouldn’t survive modern pressure.

        In rural areas where that’s not an option, your issue doesn’t exist.

        Not like if it’s a big deal, but if we’re gonna be pedantic, then we can’t go halfway.

          Huh, interesting. Rural Pennsylvania still has a lot of wells. And those areas are getting more populated, curious to see how the water table will do as those areas expand. Lots of, like you said, 100+ year old houses.
