THE WELL PUMP
The pump going in the well
The first step in the journey began with the installation of the well pump. Lucky for us we already had an 850' hole (thanks to Chip the previous owner of the property) in which to put the pump.

Our well guy John brought his rig in and installed the pump at the end of 400' of pipe. He measured our water level in the well at 171' so we should have plenty of water.
We have water!
Wow! An 850 foot hole but water at 171 feet? Why did they drill so deep?
ReplyDeleteMany of the wells in the area went dry so they went deeper to find the reliable water.
