Benefits of connecting to a rural pipeline
There are many benefits of connecting to a reliable and secure rural piped water supply, such as:
Improved water quality that's not exposed to contaminants en-route or through surface runoff
Better quality water for bathing and washing than many dams
Usable life of home appliances, such as hot water services and washing machines, is generally extended due to reduced impurities in the water
Not having to rely on rainwater tanks or water carting

Clean and plentiful water for pets, chickens, horses and other birds and animals
Appreciation of property values
Drought proofed properties
Additionally for farms:
