Drilling wells & septic systems for domestic water supply

Our house is being built in the northwest of Cape Coral and there is no city water there yet. So our domestic water supply will be provided by a so-called well and septic system. To do this, we first need the well, which is being drilled today:

The city water in our apartment building is so calcareous that every four weeks you can no longer recognize the sieve of the dishwasher under the limescale that has built up. So we are rather pleased that we have our own well. Unfortunately, this advantage won’t last, because in a few years Cape Coral will be installing city water here too.

All in-house systems are then switched off and the sewage treatment plant (Septic) is even broken. The costs for their installation are not replaced, but by then they have been partially amortized by the saved water costs. In return, you get to pay thousands of dollars for the city water system. Not nice, but you know that when you move to the northwest.

The septic system is now being built in front of the house. This will purify our wastewater for the next few years and return it to Mother Nature. Countless microbacteria will be playing house here and decomposing the dirt particles. At first, we never wanted to build a house in this area because we absolutely wanted to be connected to the city water supply.

Today we are glad that we have well water. Because it is simply much better than the very calcareous and chlorinated water from the city. One day, however, we will also be connected to the city water supply and will have to do without the great well water.
