Heh, funny you should mention that.

Have done some looking there, and know many people who both live there or recommend it as the place to go. Don't think Oconee will qualify as "rural" for too much longer, though. It's growing like a weed.

However, after today's story in the Wash Post about the million-dollar mansions that have gone up in fast-growing Loudoun County, VA (near me), where people are having disastrous problems with brand-new and already-failing septic systems........I think living in town (no matter what town) with a city-sewer service might be preferable.

My neighborhood was still on septic until several years ago...I'm glad to be rid of my septic system, although it was a pretty good one. It was always a worry in the back of my mind.

I'm not sure why people flock to wealthy and still-sorta-rural Great Falls, VA (right next to my zip code) because not only are many of those folks on septic systems, they're also using well water. I'd worry about the quality of my well water in any fast-developing part of the country.

(Not that the public water system in my area is very reassuring, either. We buy bottled water by the gallons in my house since about four years ago.)
