In general yes. Now if you have access to a stream that can be dammed off at an elevation of 300 feet above your house, you will be able to generate your own power. The water pressure at your house from that elevation will be about 135 pounds. Pipe that pressure into a Pelton wheel that is connected to a generator and you will have power. A regulating valve to control the pressure at the wheel will be needed. Keep the Pelton wheel turning at 1800 RPM to maintain the proper frequency of the generated voltage is the main prerequisite.
