It's funny how different people have different perceptions.

1. It's still your land, just have a water pipe buried under it.
2. It's financed by the users through revenue bonds.
3. Don't know about your drainage systems. Everything drains pretty good in Missouri without help. Most easements are close to or in the road right away anyway.
4. If you sign up for rural water you have to pay the minimum bill. You are not required to have water around here.
5. The designing engineer should have the system sized so that there is no shortage.
6. See number 4 and 5. Most people use rural water for household use and water the livestock out of the old well.
7. Don't have an argument for this one. It seems like people will move out from the city no matter what. I can't blame them.

What rural water system has meant.

1. No more hauling water in the summer when the well can't keep up.
2. Can flush the toilet without worrying about having enough to drink (used to say if it's yellow-let it mellow, if it's brown-flush it down).
3. Mother in law can get an automatic washing machine and get rid of the old ringer washer. Ever try to find parts for a ringer washer?
4. You do have to pay the monthly bill. But if you don't keep the well for livestock, you don't have the maintenance and installation of the well, as well as the electricity cost to run the pump.

Speaking of electricity, did you feel this way when the electric coop brought electricity to the rural areas?

Just a different view point. Maybe things are that different in Minnesota.
