We're at ~200' this morning. The first 40' gets a casing which is
sealed with cement to prevent surface contamination. The first day
they drill an 8" hole and put in 6" casing which is filled with the
cement. Then it is plugged with a "balloon" and air pressure forces
the cement up the outside of the casing until it oozes up to the
surface. This sets up overnight. Now they are drilling a 6" hole down
through the sealed casing. I expect/hope we get good water at +400'
based on the neighbor's wells. We sit up on a rock about 50' higher
than the closest neighbor who's well is 365' so I'm figuring to hit
the same pool and go a little farther. The rock is hard and slow going
so I'm not expecting much today....maybe tomorrow.
FYI price is 40/' for casing, 16/' for the rest + pump, pipe, wiring,
etc. in the well itself. I'll use my existing infrastructure and do
the wiring and ditching and plumbing myself so my cost is just for the
well alone.
