Why Is The Website Titled, “Cougar 411” About 20 years ago on April 11 (4/11) we entered the property in the late evening and made our way up the driveway to the gate of the property, which was about 100′ from the front door of the house and there stood a full-sized adult Cougar pacing back and forth at the gate.

Are The Water Wells Reliable? We have used the 2 water wells as the exclusive water supply source for this property during the approximately 20 years that we’ve owned the it. During that time we have never experienced an instance where either well failed to supply all of our water needs. The well that services the house has never required any service or pump replacement. The well that services the grounds and irrigation system is operated at a higher volume and pressure and over the course of 20 years we replaced the pump 2 times and the pressure tank once. The wells are 60′ deep and are sand filtered.

Is City Water And Sewer Readily Available? Yes, the City Water and Sewer lines are installed just a foot or so outside of our South and West property lines. Several years ago when the city installed the lines we took the opportunity to purchase a water tap on our Western boundary. We never activated the tap, just acquired it as potential option for the future.
