From what I've been told, since the city upgraded their water system that comes from wells pumped into large cement holding tanks they increased their connection fee. So it's possible they will lessen the connection fee sometime in the future.
I don't see the fees going down. Maintenance, water testing, chemicals, wages, etc. will only increase in price over the years.
If allowed by the city, I would spend a little more and drill a well.
But, it depends on the average cost of water per month in your area.
Look at all the options before making a decision.
