Charles Marshburn asketh, and geteth, expert water well advice Main thing may be to call in witch to site well, writer Pam Dailey says. Advice in response to Article 96844 Charles Marshburn Inquires about cost of sweet water well Click on headline for complete story By Pam Dailey Where I lived before was part of the terminal moraine, which meant that you may be able to dig/drive a shallow potable well at 12-15' yourself or go with a well digger 50-90' for a lifetime of quality water. Often, that depth would hit some iron, so you needed a softener so all of your appliances weren't stained. The charge for that 15 years ago ran about $2K with the submersible pump included. When we moved here, I never anticipated that one couldn't hit potable water. But the one well that serviced the farmhouse years ago was tested and had a high sulphur content (stinky egg water) and not enough pressure to provide the needs of a modern home. I think the original house drew from the creek, as did many homesteaders, hence the high incidence of typhus clear into the 1900s. Now, Charlie, IF you have a decent water table under your land for drilling, not laced with sulphur or oil, ask that adorable spouse if she wants you to go "witching" and find it. Yes, witching does work. Some have the skills, some don't. - Pam Dailey This story was posted on 2018-04-20 21:30:41
