Water Well Division
• How do I pick a reputable contractor?
You need to make sure that he has been in business for many years and has a commitment to be around for many more to come. You need to make sure that he will not only drill your well but he will also install the water system and repair it when needed. At some time your well will require service so you want to make sure that your contractor will be available to service it both in the present and future.
• How do I get a well drilled?
Just give us a call, tell us the location of the property along with your name, address, phone numbers, etc. We will then design a well for you for that specific site. If you have any questions, just give us a call. Once you give us the go ahead, we will place you on our list. Jim or Mark will then set a meeting at the site to take care of the permit and placement of the well.
• What is the difference between a drilled well and a bored well?
We drill a small diameter (5" to 10") well. We are drilling into aquifers that can produce so many gallons per minute. This type of well is not as susceptible to drought conditions. The bored well is a larger diameter (24" 30" 36" etc.) wells. Each type of well has a place within our state.
• What about annual well maintenance?
We recommend that your well be checked annually for two reasons. The first reason is so a water sample will be collected and sent to the State Lab for testing. This annual test will assure both you and your family that your water is safe and sanitary. Also there is a list of items that can be checked out to assure that your water system is operating at its fullest capacity.
• Where and how can I find out more about our water supply and water system?
We have a small manual of information that we have compiled for our customers. We can send you this booklet, just contact us.
