Waterpump lifespan

It's time for new belts and rollers, but I'm really considering skipping the waterpump replacement. Waterpump was last replaced in 2008 and about 15k ago. I know I should drive it more, but anyway. Averaging about 3000 miles a year the last couple of years, stretching it out till the next 2 belt changes (4 years), that would be under 30k on the waterpump. I'm not too concerned about saving the money on the replacement pump, its the added time to replace that is bothering me. Just looking for some feedback from you guys. I've never heard of a waterpump failing on a car due to age, at least not one that's been ran a few thousand miles every year. obviously if it does fail before being replaced, I'm out a ton more money and time. TIA
