Default Sand in pump - how bad is this?

Seeing the OP's other post about a 2" well casing, it sound's like a
driven well in soft sandy soil. Presumably it has an inlet screen and
point on the end and sand / silt has come in through the deteriorating
screen. Makes me think just driving a new point and casing nearby is the
easiest solution.


I missed that -- Sounds like maybe you're right. That's a type of well
I've no experience in and like said, hard to imagine (even though I know
it is so ) of water being so shallow...
