Running water. A most basic thing nobody really gives a thought to, but I once had to do without running water in the kitchen, or anywhere else for a month while I had a new water source put in.
My water meter is through the woods and down a huge hill. Solid 2000 ft lolTakes some time to get 1/2 mile of water line run from the meter at the road to the house

No woods, but it was all uphill from the road to the house at my old farm. Rocky ground, and had to cross a small creek, too. Something like 2180 feet of 2 inch line when all was said and done. Actually now that I think about it, I bought 3000 feet of 2 in schedule 40 for the guys to run and there were only a few sticks left when all was said and done.My water meter is through the woods and down a huge hill.

I have to agree with this one also. I am on a well system and have run out of water many times. It always recovers but is a pain in the butt when you run out.Running water.

When I bought the old place, it had a cistern that was spring fed. Never had to have water hauled in to refill the tank (well maybe once when the toilet flapper got hung and we were gone for a day). One day the pump just lost its prime and I could not get it to prime back. Must have been either a hole in the line or bad foot valve.I have to agree with this one also.

One winter the lines froze and spilt. I could prime the pump but would lose the water pressure when the tap was turned off. That cost me a few bucks to get repaired.
