i know some one with a well pump, they have two power meters

the extra meter is over by his old rental, and all it powers now is the well pump.
hes low income and they are willing to wave the 8.00 a month fee for one of his two meters. so truly the only thing on the meter is the well pump and nothing else.

the power rate is 0.0607 cents, and it uses less than $3.00 a month all year.
most of the time its about 1.25 2.00 to run the well pump.

he pre-pays $20.00 once a year or so.

the pump is about 400 feet down, and is rated at 10 or 15 GPM its a 220V pump.

so worst case raise the power rate to 0.15 cents and that's like $15.00 a month

as far as water at are place, its 15psi gravity with a 1 gpm recovery in the summer and a 1,700 gal holding tank.

for the garden, we have a pond that's about 1 acre and it can supply way more than we could ever need for the garden. granted its up hill so a small engine with a water pump is needed.
