Residential hookup fee for a 2-3 bedroom house is currently $6k for water and another $6k for septic. ($7k ea for a house with 4 bedrooms).
Steep, no doubt. However, if you have the option for town water I would certainly recommend going that route. 20% of drilled artesian wells in Carroll County have levels of arsenic and radon in excess of EPA recommendations. The cost to install and maintain an arsenic remediation system will surpass the town water hookup fee within 2-3 years.
