    I grew up out in the sticks. We had some city-slickers move into the house down the road (we would have been neighbors, but there was a field between us). After a few days, they called my dad for help with a plumbing issue. They didn’t have any water. They had run out of water.

    Our area didn’t have municipal water lines, so every house had big tanks buried nearby, and had to get water delivered by truck.

    They didn’t realize that when they bought the house

      Wow, did they assume there was a well?

      Water tanks sound like a huge pain and tough to keep sanitary.
