As a scientist who informs Vermonters on problems with their private well water quality (who’s ironically on Winooski public water), town water all the way. Private wells are incredibly costly to maintain, and there’s no guarantee the water is safe (since it’s unregulated). You’ve gotta figure that out for yourself (with a nice $160 homeowner’s test kit). Not for me dawg. P.s. funding for private water treatment is very scarce, so people are often looking at thousands of $$$ for treatment installs.
