I am considering a security system that will notify me in the event of a security breach. Likewise, it should call me in the event that the temperature drops too low. I can DIY a hardwired/wireless system for about $500. I still think that having a good relationship with my neighbors will be more valuable than an electronic system.
You did check the well out before you bought the house, right???? I hope you had a licensed driller do it.

Introduce your selves to the neighbors and local law enforcement. Coffee and doughnuts are usually appreciated. Try and get there when there are local “fests” like bake sales, Memorial Day parades and such like. Introduce yourselves to the rest of the town.
