My husband and I are on a well and septic in Pender. No problems here. Even though we have no water bill we do not waste water EVER. I water my plants when we have no rain but even in that drought we never watered our lawn, it died, it came back. Our 2 neighbors water their lawns at least 5 days a week for 6-8 hours in hot sunlight off the same underground water supply we have for our house. They are on community water so they do not care if they dry up the well water that we use to drink and bathe. I would never pay 140.00 a month for water. That is a RIP OFF. They are using the same pipes that where already there. What have they improved to justify such rates? OH never mind, you all are paying for that expensive new computer billing system that they have a moron operating.
