WATER
This area is blessed with abundant water coming from an aquifer which must be jealously guarded. Water is drawn from individual wells approximately $20 per foot, drilled and cased.

Water can be purchased and hauled by several water companies such as Clear Springs Utility Company 520-623-5172

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Individual septic systems, with setbacks of 50ft from a well site and 50ft from any property line are the standard method of sewage disposal. This process involves having a “site evaluation” conducted by a county approved individual at a cost of $350. And a county permit of $350. The site evaluation will consider proposed building layouts, set-backs, driveways, and potential out buildings, with a primary and secondary location for the leach lines. Two, ten foot soil profiles are then classified by soil type, and from the estimated water use units. Combine to provide a system design for that particular site. Soil types vary, affecting the length of different sized systems, however, current costs may range from $3,200 - $4,800 for a 2/3 bedroom home. Estimated costs can be compared once a site evaluation provides the septic system design/tank size/leach line with any building permit application.
