Default Residential water well question

In my case I think it is an artesian well as it is dug through strata
to reach the aquifer.


If you have to use a pump, you don't have an artesian well. "Artesian"
means that the water rises to the surface by hydrostatic pressure; i.e.,
there is a "head". A free flowing spring is an example.
