Here in a town in CT they made everyone cap their wells and use municipal water. Cost big bucks.

How is one wasting water by pumping it from one hole into the ground (well) to another hole in the ground (septic system)?

Thankfully, things are just too spread out in NC for that to even be a possibility. I moved out of Cary to get away from government, as much as to get a bigger house. If they actually try to start such a program, I can't believe it wouldn't flip the balance of power in the NC Gov't to the Republicans. Too many "old Democrats" would never put up with it.

Life long city dwellers. To them, water is piped into their homes clean and pure (OK, it's cloudy, smells a bit off and has been intentionally contaminated with chlorine and fluorine, but to them it's pure.) used once and returns even more contaminated than it came. They neither see nor understand that there is a natural recycling of water going on all the time, forever.
