Why are wells so expensive in AZ?

Well In Prescott, AZ, you were made to tap into city water and sewer even if you had a well and septic and YOU had to pay for that work out of pocket. Governments and principalities make a lot of ordinances and laws behind closed doors without a by your leave (all over the country) and then, extort the homeowner.

It IS extortion because frankly, water is the NEW Currency and most of us will bend over gladly to have it. On the other hand, the fed and most states already have on the books, legislation to meter ALL privately owned domestic wells.

We fought them off in Cochise County but its only a matter of time before no one remembers that we did stop them and they go ahead and meter the private wells.

They can try and meter the wells in our area where we now live but they will end up with a nasty fight and no doubt we will be another Waco, Denton or Ruby Ridge. So be it. Sometimes blood must be spilled to stave off tyranny.

I live in Cottonwood and have both. I just flip a valve and I go from city to well. Of course I have a backflow preventer for the city water side. I don't have no stinking meter on my well and I use it to irrigate my property. I use city water for the house.
