We got there in the height of summer it was very hot and dry. The lawn started to look bad. The front had sprinklers but the back did not. So, I am out there watering every day. Thinking, hey it's NC--water is every where, I can practically wring it out of the air.
Well, let me put it is perspective. My highest water bill, ever in Arizona--after filling a pool was about $60. I get my first water bill in NC and it's $400. My husband and I say, "Wow, must be a mistake" We call, short of with a chuckle and are, like, "hey got this water bill, looks like some sort of error". ( it looked to have double charges)
She actually says to us, "You wanna have that big green lawn, well, water is expensive" Apparently we could have paid a couple fo thousand dollars to have some sort of meter installed which would have removed the double charges. I know I am not explaining that very well. I knew, at that point, well long before that, I was not going to be there a day longer than I had to be.
I’m on a well out here.
A well can give you problems at times but a good well is a real blessing.
