How much does it cost to drill a well an additional 100 feet?



With plastic casing, which is what is being used here these days,
AFAIK you can't just drill an existing well deeper. You have to start all over.
Steel casing, etc maybe you can. I'd definitely find out about that
option though.

Since they are 2,000 altitude, it may be there
isn't enough water to be useful. Danny, do any
of your neighbors have good supply of water?
If no neighbors have water, it's possible the
deeper well option isn't viable.

Lets also look at the time factor. Suppose
that Danny or other worker decides to shuttle
thousand gallon trips. Fill the tank will probably
be 10 minutes at hydrant, plus connect and dis-
connect. Threads, put the meter back on the truck,
and so on. At the house, we're not sure what is the
GPH with a pump, there is time needed to pump into
the house tank. Drive up and down the hill. Anyone
want to make a SWAG as to the time for one shuttle?
More than anyone expects, I'm sure.
