A well and septic system on two acres might not be a good idea.
Why not?
You see this on ranchettes, all over Texas.
I agree, why not? I have 2 acres in arid dry SW desert in N.M. with septic the past 25 years. For now using the water co-op for the water. It’s not irrigated acreage so a well is in the plans for the future to use for gardening.

I have had experience with this in a small town in Iowa. If ONLY you had a well and septic it might work. But there are multiple neighbors.
On the farm, we are well aware that distance is important.
In this county, you have to have the septic tank several hundred feet from the wellhead in order to not contaminate your well. The article talks like they are using a very shallow aquifer which would make the situation worse.
We have to drill to ~350’ to get decent water and ~800 to get good water.
