Yeah, I tell people I'm on well/septic even in a city because when this house was built it was before urban sprawl...
And everyone immediately says how great it is that I don't have to pay water/sewer.
But like, I got to pump the septic, I got to service the well, I got to maintain the well pump and pressure tank, my garden hose has no pressure, have to keep up with water softener using a bunch of salt...
I'm probably not even saving money. And it's a lot of hassle.
But it would be 10s of thousands of dollars to get it hooked up, and who knows if my 80 year old plumbing can sustain city water pressure.
Not to mention if my electric goes out, so does my water.
I'd 100% prefer city water, $20 a month ain't shit.
