You might want to look into recycling/reclaim, usually a very bad idea with self serve, but sewer is usually the vast majority of your water bill.

thought the same, however in my city water/sewer are identical. (as far as "usage/cost" maybe i can speak with the city and say wtf. as most of my water is caught in the pits, or evaporates.

Actually using well water will reduce your sewer costs too since sewer is calculated off city water use. My sewer cost is 5 times water cost. I can't do a well but I've considered harvesting rain water.

I have one that is used for the auto. It has a float for the well with a cycle stop valve. There’s a backup float switch going to a city water solenoid. I’ve been thinking about how to hook it up to the ss bays.
