I live in the country and have a well. I have been noticing my water
seems wetter than it used to. I decided to take the cover off my well
and have a look. When I looked into the well, I was shocked. I
expected to see a pump and pipes and whatever else is supposed to be
in there. Instead I saw water almost to the top of the well. The
well is supposed to be 370 feet deep and I can see water maybe 25 feet
from the top. My well is flooded. No wonder the water is wetter. I
live in Minnesota, so this flooding is not from the hurricanes, and we
have not had any severe rain storms. I dont know what caused this
flooding. I am afraid the water is going to ruin my pump and pipes.
What can I do to solve this? Should I report this to the Red Cross or
FEMA, and should I call my insurance company?

I shut off the water pump just to be safe. I hope someone can fix
this soon because hauling bath and toilet water 14 miles from the city
is alot of work.

You're sitting on a gold mine, kid. Red Line Oil spent millions in R&D
to develop WaterWetter® - and all you have to do is pump it from your well!

I suspect what he has is dihydrogen oxide - that is dangerous and
corrosive. Must be contained and handled with care.


s/dihydrogen oxide/hydrogen hydroxide/ ;-)

Nah, the dangers are completely over-blown by the tree-huggers. I've
used the stuff for years without safety equipment and have suffered no
side effects - hell, a couple of times I accidentally fell into an
entire *tub* of it...other than lightening my skin up a couple of
shades, it didn't hurt a bit.


You're lucky! It can be (usually is) fatal even if inhaled.
....even a 5gal pail of it can be fatal.
