Water Wells Need Help

[Jay-mo]

I will echo the advice to get a driller that is familiar with your area.

The well we have is 36 inch fibreglass cribbing, 50 ft. down It’s 20 years old. The water is good, no iron. It recovers at about 200 galons per hour. We have two producing wells in the yard but the second one would cost a lot to trench, likely nore than a new well would cost.

Sumdumguy,

You would be surprised how little directional drilling can be done for! Our natural gas co-ops in eastern AB have rigs that are amazing and very skilled people who direct drill 10-15-20' down below; then for hundreds of feet vertically for surprising cost... only dig a hole at each end... and don't dig anything up, can go under most obstacles with little problems! Half a day did 400' 2-1.5" plastic water hoses fed in, $10,000 approx. then Fed electrical wire through to other end in one of the hoses; way down under all existing power and gas lines.

Cheers
