There is no assurance that a productive well can be installed on your land and, if it cannot, no refund of the purchase price will be made.

As a way to reduce your costs (both initially and over the long-term), we recommend you explore the use of alternative/renewal energy sources such as generators, wind or solar systems for your electrical needs.
