So, you think you can prepare your little getaway for the coming doom and gloom days, right? After all, it is your land, so who is to say you can't damn the creek to make a pond, or divert water for irrigation? Why, the EPA, of course.
IF they own that land, what about the adjacent property that allows them to inspect their water?

Our water comes from our own well in the yard.
A number of years ago the state of Florida announced it wanted to put meters on all private wells and charge the landowner for water useage.
It never came to pass, but the very thought that something like that would even be suggested is scary.
