Encapsulation is not an option unless I go down there and haul the dirt up and out of the crawl space one 5 gallon bucket at a time then re-set the floor joists currently supported by bricks and blocks sitting on that dirt as they did 100 years ago.

There are other requirements too such as if there are cattle grazing nearby, etc, but you will need to check this with a driller - they can tell you as they will need to submit this plan to the county for a permit anyway.An effective water well is completely dependent on the water quality and the water throughput (gallons per minute).  

The water company has billed me for 6000 gallons this past month.

The property is on a well (with public water available that I may hook up to in the future) but the septic is a public utility.Is there a formula for average gallons per day use based on bedrooms/bathrooms that I could use to apply the unit costs to and estimate my operating costs?

Our apartment building has propane heat with a single 2000 gallon tank outside. 

Procured my last gallon of semi-gloss, grout sealer and a can of Rust-l-ouem.

It costs about $13 per gallon, but money well spent.

That would definately make a difference since the water bill last month was about $150 for over 10,000 gallons.

I always use the 5 gallon variety as to not have spills.

Existing well is great water but ... only has a 1200 gallon capacity .
