I may buy a house on land that has a well. In a couple years, the city plans to bring water supply through the property lines. What "could" this potentially cost? If I ask they City will they be able to tell me and is it accurate? Do I have any say in if they do it?

The costs of such an improvement will vary widely by location, linear feet of lot frontage, and topography. The municipality probably won't even give you a guess until they get some estimates from contractors.
When water does come through, you will not have a choice. You will be assessed per lineal foot of frontage at the going rate per foot for the improvement, and you will also have to connect your house water supply to the city water main.
Depending on the locality, you MAY be allowed to continue to use your well for such things as car washing and lawn watering, or you may have to pay to have the well closed and abandoned.
