I'm one of the few houses that has a well. The water isn't any good for drinking, too much sulfur, but is used for watering my lawn so all I have to pay for is the electric to run the pump. My water bill is less then half of what many of my neighbors pay.
The grass and plants seem to love it but it does sometimes smell like rotten eggs when the sprinklers are on and you have to be careful that the water doesn't get on anything that you don't want discolored, like your car or house.
It was kind of funny seeing my sprinklers coming on after a hurricane when no one but me had power.
