My brother’s father in law lives in the country. He told me that he got a call once from the township manager griping about city people moving to the country. This lady called him at 4am and said that he needed to get someone to fix the city water.
He asked where she lived and then told her that no one on the township has city water, it’s all on wells.
He then asked if she had any idea what the whirring sound was whenever she turned on the water. Oh yea, that’s the wellpump.
I’ve got another friend who lives on about 5 acres. He came to church one Sunday after a 4-5 day regional power outage all happy because he could finally flush the toilet. I said “You have a pond!” He had no idea that his problem would be solved with a 5 gallon bucket since toilets work on gravity. Oh well.
Yes we have seen all that, several years back someone advertised land here to city people and several moved here. None of that group is here now. They just don’t know how things really work outside of a city and when they find out if there is enough of them they try to change everything to their ways. One of my pet peeves! If I decided to move, I would make sure I wanted to live there as it is.
