We discovered water! Well a water pipe anyway. We had contacted the Cornish Water District and asked about the process and cost of hooking into the water main. Of course, the water main is on the opposite side of the road. We would have to hire an excavator to drill under the road and up to the house, then have to lay pipe and hook everything up.
Our euphoria hasn't lasted though. We honestly don't know if this water line is connected to a well or to the town water main. With neither the water nor the electricity turned on, there is no way at this point to tell. I'll be calling the Cornish Water District again or hopefully our friendly neighbor will be able to tell us.
Found out the water pipe is connected to town water. At some point we need to we need to find the buried shut-off valve. We need to take a measurement off of the utility pole on the west side of our property and the north west corner of the porch to locate the valve.
In our demolition, we realized that the last inhabitants may have had running water, but at only one temperature -- COLD. They never had hot running water.
