I'm out on the plains(near Two Wells-y'know-where boffalo roam and the deer & the antelope play) and i have just gone through a land division [my gorgeous father-in-law gave us half of his 5 acre block] I won the right to have a "dry block" on our side, otherwise it was expected to cost us .....wait for it.......... $175,000 to bring mains water around to our block. Being a bit of a greenie i didnt want to put in any more stress on the water system. Boy,what a hassle it was but i did! My question;has anyone out there subdivided, if so did you have any water issues? How much were your subdivision costs all up? Any good/bad experiences? Any feedback would be muchly appreciated!
