For irrigation users, municipal water can become extremely expensive.
Our Commercial Planning Guide illustrates how quickly water costs add up. A typical 10 GPM sprinkler system running two hours per day for 90 days can use over 100,000 gallons per season.
At 1.4 cents per gallon, that can exceed $1,500 per year.
With a Well?
Groundwater is free.
No municipal water charge.
No sewer charge for irrigation use.
Calculating Savings
The Commercial Planning Guide provides a simple formula for estimating savings based on:
- Cost per gallon
- Flow rate
- Hours per day
- Number of watering days Commercial Planning Guide
For larger commercial properties, athletic fields, and condominium complexes, savings can be substantial.
But What About Installation Cost?
Total cost depends on:
- Well type
- Pump system design
- Electrical work
- Filtration
- Site prep
- Permitting
Budgets can vary widely based on geology and project scope.
Long-Term Perspective
Unlike water bills, well payments build equity. A properly designed well increases property value and can provide water for decades.
