The water level in my well is dropping, which I understand is normal for
this time of year. Once it drops below the pickup, I can't pump any more.
Is
there anything that can be done to deepen the well or clean out the
bottom,
or am I stuck with what I have? The well is 17 feet deep, I don't know how
much debris or mud might be at the bottom. I have a 2" pipe going into the
ground. The guy that drilled it dropped a stick of dynamite into it and
blew
out the bottom, but I don't know how big of a cavity might be down there.


Get the guy with the dynamite back to your well to drop two sticks
next time. You will have twice as much water.


Hmm...seriously - would doing so deepen it any? If I could just get a foot
or two, it might be worth it. Just my luck, it would blow the casing out of
the hole and the hole would collapse and I've have nothing at all LOL.
