Cate, have you asked a well driller what he would expect the cost to be for a drilled well installation in that area? Well depths for other wells in the immediate vicinity can give a reasonable guess as to drilling costs, and this is information generally available. It would be more, for sure, but it might be money better spent over the long run, considering long-term power cost, and if the cottage will be used year-round. That also would give the renters water for drinking and cooking.
