Default Well - done

Installers just left. Drilling and casing yesterday took less than 5
hours. Not sure of depth, maybe 160 ft, but recovery rate is about 25
gpm which is great.

Today we were without water for about 6 hours for installation of pump
trenching and hook up and replacement of old water tank. They have to
come back in good weather to finish raking and grading and straw and I
guess seed. Have yet to see bill. They could not salvage the new pump
that plumber put in.

Cannot drink water until it is tested and can't do that until next week
when chlorine is run out. Digger said just because new well is less
than 50 ft from the old one does not mean water will be the same. I
just hope it does not need treatment. Some neighbors do and a few only
drink bottled water.
