72 is wild. I had never heard of anyone getting more than my parents place at 60

I see you’ve heard of my friend Flint
The two bad ones are interchangeable depending on badness. I know someone who lived next to a junkyard and had to emergently switch from well to town water because chemicals from the junkyard were leeching into his well. Funny enough two members of his household eventually got cancer too. Similarly, one of the only cases of tularemia in VT in recent history was from a muskrat dying in someone’s well.

Good well water > good town water > bad well water > bad town water

You were right. :)))

Depends. Burlington water is great. Just let the chlorine evaporate over several hours. Champlain Water District is terrible though, especially if you're sensitive to chloramines.

Because both have been completely debunked as reliable or revelatory, are seriously worthless, and yet are still defaulted too?

How would you define mountain? Sounds like a stupid question, but most of VT could be considered mountainous.

That's why we fill our bathtub if a nasty storm is coming through.

Town water 100000%. Someone else deals with the maintenance and upkeep... it is much more reliable, it is monitored for safety for you, and overall more robust.
Personal wells are a last resort if you can't get town water. They are finicky, incredibly expensive, prone to bacterial infections and issues... and a pain in the butt.

In the southern part (Walden, Danville area) it tends to have a lot of minerals. Tastes great but there’s always mineral deposits in teapots, etc. I love it though!

it's specifically good for drinking, because it is good for teeth
you're drinking such a tiny amount in treated water, there are no negative effects
anti-flouride is not a particularly well informed POV, especially considering it naturally occurs in groundwater anyway (sometimes in higher concentrations than treated water!)

You get to have a party. They get their house cleaned for them. Sounds like a win for both sides.

True, I’m sure post-Covid prices have soared. A buddy had Chevailier drill one 190 ft deep, all-in for about 12k in 2020. I was going off of that.

I do find well water to be way tastier generally, but in basically all other regards being hooked up to the city is way better. That said, if it were remotely feasible I would LOVE to have some kind of supplemental well that only feeds to the kitchen sink for drinking water.

How is the water in the NEK? Any known groundwater issues?

Or fill up buckets. It's not really a difficult task
