Dumb question: Does this affect households that get their water from a their own well?
City water is the issue.
Wells are your friend.
Well bump!
They would try to outlaw private wells. Good luck with that.
I've already seen articles over the last year or two about them wanting to monitor private wells.
No dumb questions.
I live in the suburbs and have a well.
If one lives where there is city water and sewer, may they install a well to use instead or are they forced to hook up to city water and pay? Are private wells forbidden in those circumstances??
In my last state they were trying to put meters on people’s wells, & charge them. That was blocked, happily. And then there’s been attempts to force you to have your well-water tested. If they can claim a health issue, the gov’t would be able to stop you from using your well water. And then what do you do? So far these efforts have come to naught, but the lefties never cease their efforts.
NOT a dumb question.
We have a well and I was wondering the same thing.
Invest in urine recycling technology.
“Does this affect households that get their water from a their own well?”
It really depends on where you are. If you share an aquifer with a military base it probably does. The same government that gave you the EPA also runs the bases that for years have been dumping all manner of solvents, lubricants, firefighting foam etc. into the groundwater. Many of the wells in Moose Creek and North Pole in interior Alaska have been contaminated by effluent from Eielson AFB and
Fort Wainwright. If you are only going to be there for a couple of years you really don’t care what you leave behind.
Wait until they want to meter your private well
