new house next door, and he said he got tons of great water at 40 feet.
I'm
sure he hit water sooner, he just went down to 40 to insure he'd have
enough.

Or he most likely is getting paid by the foot (~$100-150/ft in my area)

HOLY CRAP! What kind of well driller charges $100 to $150 per foot? The
highest I've EVER seen a well driller charge (and I didn't hire him) was $11
per foot for the well and $8 for the casing.

I just had a well drilled and paid 9 and 9. 220 feet deep, 14 gallons per
minute, 40 feet of casing, cost me less than $2000.
