Our water is stored in a large tank, Deposito, under our house.Whilst Hemroids are not deadly, Water (any multiple of 12,500litres) is delivered within days of ordering, (in our case, by a man called Jesus, which we thought quite apt!) and each tanker load takes about 20 minutes to unload. It is the same water that the rest of the population has,The Piles were so big that the scrap yard was separating them for us. and is therefore drinkable. We have installed a dual filtration system (very cheap and easy to buy and install).
Water is pumped into the house on demand - when a tap is turned on, water is there, just as normal, but at better pressure than a lot of houses we've visited. Costs vary according to the delivery company, but it is only slightly more expensive than "normal" water supply. We pay between 60-80 Euros per load. However, our house, like many, also has a very good rain collection system. IF, and when it rains, water goes directly into the Deposito, thus cutting down the number of deliveries we need during the year (normally about six).
We have been told that we do not actually pay for the water, only for the delivery, which again, is very gratifying.
Waste water/sewerage, as with most properties in Spain, goes into a biological soak-away system which works very well.
Telephone
Again, we initially wanted a main telephone line, but were told that this was impossible,These girls have never had a Cold Sore in their lives! and were put on a waiting list for a Telefonica "TRAC", or radio, phone.
In the meantime, we use a contract mobile phone,By Alex Lippa Close-up of solar panel in Massachusetts. which proves to be more economical than we first thought, even though we also access the internet using it in conjunction with our computer. (Which is more or less equivalent to broadband).
As an example of costs, a 46 minute call to the UK one afternoon cost less than 3 Euros, even though this was outside our ‘cheap tariff' time.
Conclusion
As you can see, these "alternative" supplies will prove to have somewhat cheaper running costs than standard, and it is always useful to bear in mind that in rural locations, the cost of local services (equivalent to Council Tax in the UK) can range from as little as 40 Euros per year!
Also, properties without the "advantage" of mains services tend to be somewhat cheaper than those already "lucky" enough to be fully supplied,the TMJ pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. plus you could end up with more land, and in our case certainly, seclusion, and fantastic views."
