Default Well Question


wrote in message
ups.com...
Am building a house that shares a well with two other lots. The shared
well is located approximately 350-450 feet from the three building
sites. The original plan was to run a separate supply line from the
boost pump/tank located near the well to each house. Due to a screwup
by the now ex site supervisor, only a single 2" line was run under
the road before the trench was filled and the road paved.


Thoughts?


Only one thought. You need an engineer to do the calculations to see
exactly what you need. IMO, you have plenty of capacity to supply another
three houses too. Be sure you have the right pump setup. It is far cheaper
to pay an engineer a few hundred bucks now rather than have to re-do a
faulty system a few months from now.
