Thanks, Bob. Have you used this method? I'd want to hear from someone who
has done that successfully before considering it seriously.

An old trick (not that I am necessarily recommending it), is to place
the barrel of a rifle down the pipe and fire a round. Theory is that
(a)the shockwave will dislodge any accumilated debris, and (b)will
"fracture" the underground structure enough to allow more water to
enter the well. Warning however: (1) Don't hold your head over the
pipe. (2) Don't do it with PVC well pipe - it will shatter it.
