Hello all,

We are about to start building our house which sits about 1000' from the
road. We have city water available but are looking into having a well. I am
told that the iron content is high in the area but folks on that street were
on wells before the city water came in about 7-10 years back.

I know nothing about water, but can't you make pipe installation
pretty easy, including the streams, by going next to the driveway? Or
did you leave the trees right next to it (which I would understand,
except they usually want to get wide housebuilding things in there,
don't they?)

My girlfriend may have been a ditz, or just busy, but she told me for
months that her well had dried up, and I guess she was taking water
from work to her home, but eventually it turned out the pump had
broken.
