 Well Water Problems

BA,

A few years ago our deep well was having problems and a well driller I knew quickly asked said you have public water available, go with it. Seems my 200 or so well was dwarfed by the large commerical well just a little ways across the woods at a trash hauling company of all things.

As to the cost, you may be dealing with a person who really can not handle math.

WHy don't you find out what state agency regulates wells there, call and ask if what this guys is telling you is accurate or not on installing new casing. Could be he thinks he is correct but not or could be he is 100% accurate and honest.

I do hope you well.

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?

 Well Water Problems

OK, it's been dry here in Washington, PA this summer, and we are running low on water. Considering putting in what the locals are calling a "coyote" system, which is a holding tank with a switch to pump into the tank 24 hours per day at specified intervals. Any thoughts on inside vs. outside (buried) tanks, size (4 kids), average cost I should expect for someone to install, etc.????

I had essentually the same system using a spring in KY. In the summer the spring was just a steady trickle. I only had 2 kids, but the previous owners had 6. It used a normal cement septic type tank that was 1500 gallons.
The tank was buried with the top exposed so you could clean. With a steady flow I never had any problems with freezing in KY.

No clue on cost ,but, have heard of that.

Sorry, it took so long to get back, my son has a Black Bear harvest permit this fall and I have been very buisy baiting and getting him ready not to mention gettin him back to college.
Latest update: Last weekend we all were at the other house. I have hd good clean tasting water for about 3 weeks (Actually very very good taste to it!)_ All of a sudden after it sat for 2 weeks of non-use, we gets back there and I have no water or very little water coming out of all the faucets. I unscrew the screens and whaallaah
They are full of white rocky cuttings (the last color crap that was drilled and pulled up at the bottom of the well. I figured that I cured it but in a matter of min. it was clogged again! Long story short; I wound up installing a whole house filter, So far the shower works fine with only ONE clogging since (I think that was left in the lines)
This weekend when I get back there I plan to rplace all the faucets (I just happen to have the old ones from my new house) and also I need to replace the toilet innerds Laughing out loud.
I still plan to do some checking and do some investigateing on getting gouged. I will make their life miserable if I find out anything like me being screwed. Bad mouthing (actually telling the truth) is the best method along with recomending someone else.
The other step would be to try and get money back legally which is probably impossible.
Thanks for asking.

We have Aerators here used to git rid of the sulfur smell in the water. They are above ground easy to clean and come in all sizes up to 1000 gallons I know. You can add bleach in the correct raitos to pruify. They have hoses at the bottom so they can be drained. Mine is 300 gl with a fiber glass top that you can lift off, a one HP myers pump sprays water from a section of pvc pipe with holes cut in with a hacksaw to provide a spraying action with a float switch as a cut off. I have had mine for 12 years and no problems. The tank if also made of fiber glass.
