There is no municipal water here in the north-west, so we have to obtain our <strong>water supply <\/strong>from a well and septic system. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/drilling-well\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7083\">well and septic system<\/a><\/strong> realize.

This means you pay twice for one trade: for the well and septic system and later for the city water connection. Because you have to implement this &#8211; whether you like it or not.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>septic system <\/strong>(wastewater treatment) is then destroyed. What remains is the well system (well with pump), whose water is often used afterwards for watering the garden and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/house-construction-report\/building-pool\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"7120\">filling the pool<\/a>. We opted for this because the water costs nothing in the years leading up to the city water conversion and the system will have more or less paid for itself by then &#8211; depending on when the conversion takes place. In a detached house with two people and a pool, water costs around $80 per month.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You don&#8217;t have to understand everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-a095a289\"><style>.kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner .kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption{font-size:var(--global-kb-font-size-sm, 0.9rem);color:var(--ast-global-color-4);}.kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom.kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner .kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption, .kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover.kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner .kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption{background:linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 100%);}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-21666_78e3d7-b7.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-wrap-id-21666_78e3d7-b7.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kt-blocks-carousel{overflow:visible;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-slider kb-gallery-id-21666_78e3d7-b7 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-carousel splide kt-carousel-container-dotstyle-dark kt-carousel-arrowstyle-whiteondark kt-carousel-dotstyle-dark kb-slider-group-arrow kb-slider-arrow-position-center\" data-slider-anim-speed=\"400\" data-slider-scroll=\"1\" data-slider-arrows=\"true\" data-slider-fade=\"true\" data-slider-dots=\"true\" data-slider-type=\"slider\" data-slider-hover-pause=\"false\" data-slider-auto=\"\" data-slider-speed=\"7000\" data-show-pause-button=\"false\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"kt-blocks-carousel-init kb-blocks-slider splide__list\"><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-slide-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-has-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"601\" alt=\"Rohrverlegung\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2.jpg\" data-id=\"6908\" class=\"wp-image-6908 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2-333x200.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing2-768x462.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Pipe installation for toilet and bidet in the master bathroom<\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-slide-item splide__slide\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-has-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-land32 kb-has-image-ratio-land32\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"599\" alt=\"Wasserrohre Au\u00dfenk\u00fcche\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4.jpg\" data-id=\"6910\" class=\"wp-image-6910 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4-334x200.jpg 334w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wasserrohre-verlegen-plumbing4-768x460.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Supply and waste water pipes for the outdoor kitchen.

After all, the plumbers partially smashed the freshly laid stones again because the pipes had to get outside somehow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The long white pipes protruding into the air serve as <strong>vents<\/strong> so that when the wastewater drains away, the suction does not empty the siphons from the sanitary facilities. If the air is drawn from above, the water remains in the siphons and thus also ensures that no odor is produced. You may have noticed a gurgling sound in the washbasin when draining the bath water in older buildings. This is the effect if the ventilation is not working.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the first time we learned to appreciate the many inspections. There was a \u201cfail\u201d <strong>during the first inspection<\/strong> because the pipes from the future outdoor kitchen did not have a sufficient gradient and would therefore not have worked. After a little reworking, we finally got a \u201cpass\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uagb-block-58f7a839\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-c9ff59e2 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Florido-Scout-Baubericht.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"127\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Construction Report \u2013 Everything is Different<\/h3><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">This builder can tell you all about the adventure of building a house.
