We've had wells for irrigation, but they were only 250' deep.
Had to go that deep to avoid iron and sulphur. Not potable though. |

How much is the driller? Around here it's $12-$14/ft.

$25/ft, + casing. It's going to be used as light irrigation on 3 acres that is cleared.

My sump pump runs year 'round. Of course, we are also expecting 12 inches of heavy snow in the next 2 days so there's that issue...

Just before we left PA in 2012 we had to have a new well drilled. 220 feet with casing, pump and everything else was $9500.

You guys know water tables vary in depth depending on location, right? 640 ft in a week, with a day off and a 60 year old drilling rig... Sounds about right time wise.

Drilled 378' at our 11 acre property near Virginia City, Nevada. Solid granite and $40 a foot with 6" casing. Took 6 days
 and that was 10 years ago.

I witched the location of my well. They went down 500 ft. and hit water in the first 100 ft. and several more times on the way, so the water level in the well is at 100 ft. or less. The cost was about $15/ft. about ten years ago. By the time the power line & electrical, gravel sleeve, 10K gal. tank, pump & pressure pump w/ tank, and 100 ft. fire line w/ hydrant added, the total cost was somewhere around $23K. The well was rated at 40 gal./min. Some wells in my area produce as little as 4 gal./min. and I've heard of some drying up making people truck water in.
