It was actually something high on my list of priorities when picking the places to consider. I ended up with an artesian well which has some neat benefits.
We have a pump house, but it doesn't normally pump. It normally doesn't do much more than regulate the pressure. There's normally enough water that it can push itself all the way up to the house. In the last part of summer, it may need some help. On the other end of the spectrum, the pressure is too high when the water table rises. If it weren't regulated, I'm told it'd screw my plumbing all up - maybe even blowing fixtures off.
A part of me wants to actually witness this, but it has blow off valves and stuff I don't actually understand because I'm not a plumber.
Though your comment made me think of Steve Miller again. "Come on darlin' put your pretty dress on, we're gonna go out tonight."
I need to learn to play a banjo.

Sounds like you need to load up a couple kayaks, go and visit Zyklon, and take a river trip.
