A drilled well will be done soon- July, what kind of things should I request?
I'm in Northern New York State. I will be building home next year. Wells in this area are generally 100 - 200ft deep and they tend to have iron and occasionally sulfur. The soil is sand, no rocks. The well driller is charging $35 per ft, casing $45 per ft, and $1950 for dive shoe, well cap, drill rig setup. If I want a temporally water pump, all that is extra and I'll have to use a generator to draw the water. The house won't be built until next year, so I'm thinking not to have the pump installed yet...is that a good or bad idea??? I won't be able to tell if my well is any good if, I'm not using it.
I've never been through this process and don't know what questions to ask, about the materials, hopefully it's steel casing and not plastic, etc??? Would appreciate any advise.
