It's all about headlights @ 3am in the morning 2see while filling ur jugs of water...the ONLY time during a 24hr period when ur waiting in line w/fewer than 5 people & on RARE occasion can be alone ;)
The "crazy hype" about the well is basically access to pure water that hasn't been dosed with chemicals. Hopefully someday we won't have to go to such lengths just for clean water.
