that's a pity... in many different regions in my country especially my hometown (@anroja also the same) every house has a well, because the water services from government is so awful, the water is muddy (usually taken from river and distillate or filtered before sending out to customers. in several places at least we have a public well too.

we live surrounded by water but we always have a problem when we need water, your information reminds me to not waste the water like it'd never gone.
