Shoppers:
I find this discussion very interesting. I'd like to ask a less technical
question if I may:
I live in a city and have public water and sewer;everything works fine. I've
never owned a home not being so provided. My wife and I plan on retiring in
about 3 years and moving to a rural area. When buying a house that is not on
a public water/sewer supply is a normal house inspection going to cover the
problems that have been brought up in this discussion (low pressure/capacity;
type of pipe used, etc.) or do you really have to get a specialist in to check
that specific aspect (water/sewer) of any house you're really interested in?
Sounds like you could unknowingly inherit a poor system needing lots of money
to fix. Simply turning the water on or flushing a toilet in an inspection may
not be enough.
Thanks for any advice.

I have a well. It puts out about 1.6 gallons per minute. For code purposes
(and common sense) I have a large (2500 gallon) storage tank................
