If you do end up going with Rain Water Harvesting, my Dad and Mom have been living with a rain water harvesting system for years now. Necessity drove them towards that. It would cost $100k for municipal water and the well digger failed at digging a well. They were pumping water from a cave about 600' (200 vertical ft) away for a few years but decided rain water was much easier to maintain. I am not trying to "sell" my dad's book, but he did write one about rain water harvesting, which is significantly more detailed than what is currently out there now.

Also, if you are interested, I can give you his number and he would be glad to talk with you about it.
