Well Water Problems
BA I'm a little discouraged about my other thoughts in the old thread.
Many of our neighbors lose water when it's dry here. It never occured to ask that given the symptoms. Me I have about 15 GPM running out the top of mine all day every day for over 16years now, Artisian.
Bite the bullet and call your driller to have a look see.
Is your wife in the Motel? Sorry had to ask.

Hopefully I am only slightly confused here.
They drilled 38 feet with casing. Hit bed rock and only drilled 6 more feet.
Did they get thru the bedrock? If not you only have a surface water well, which is not a bad thing if there is a good aquifur (SP).
Typically you only need casing down to bedrock drill thru BR and there is usually a river, so to speak, they do 10 -15 more feet to create a pool and you are all set.

U-R WAAAAAAAY OPTIMISTIC!
ME thinks double your number.
But that did answer a question. If the BR was only 6' and the driller broke thru and there was/is no water...
Hopefully they will not have to go deep and run casing thru the BR and down.

Sorry BA, It was not my intent to hex your well.
I've been around a few. The alarms went off real early in this thread.
PS I know you were kidding about the hex...

I am very concerned that they did not install new casing.
If the walls do collapse and you do have to pull the pump whats the point, you will not get it back down the hole anyway. I don't think.
I would want the well cased. Even if you have to use a liner on your current casing. Big enough to get your pump down.
Back to basics what do your neighbors have?

Me thinks someone might be getting the shaft. I would have thought the new driller would have a drill rate w/o casing and your original driller who hired him should have a rate.
I'm not in the lets put in new casing at this point. Me thinks I would start gluing plastic PVC as large as I could get down the original casing, to the bottom of the new dig. I'd drill lots of holes in it. Hack a big slot in the side of it for the pittless connector and put the pump 10' from the bottom.
The new drillers address is not at the cornner of "RIPEMOFF ST & GOOD ST" by chance is it?
