A LOT of Connecticut is on well/septic systems. You need to be in a bona fide town to have a municipal water supply and sewers. It seems to be very much the norm up here.
I agree with your wife, Tom. I wanted to buy a house that had been built in 1742 and updated so all the systems were brand new, but it made Jim too nervous. So instead we have a 1986 replica of a colonial saltbox on former farmland with a nearby pond and wetlands. Tradeoffs. It's all about tradeoffs.
