Sand Point Well

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We have 80 acres on a private lake about 30 minutes from where we
live.  I want to drive a sand point well, and wonder if any of you
folks have done so, and could offer any tips.  My wifes folks (my
mom-in-law grew up out there) and my dad-in-law filled in a dug well on
the property about 20 years ago.  He said the well was about 10-12
feet deep at that time, and the property appears to be all sand. 
The water is supposedly high in iron, and tastes that way.  I
figure if I can get a producing well, I will invest in  a Berkey
or something to filter it.

Looks like I have to drive it 10-12 feet.

Any advice??
