Potentially dumb idea. I haven't found any guidance on this yet, so I'll try asking you all!

I have a 6" well of unknown depth; ​no records and my 30ft rod didn't hit bottom​, and I'm not equipped to pull the pump.

Issue I am having is iron bacteria. I have disinfected the well a few times over the years, and it feels like it's making the situation worse. I used a test kit to hit concentration, recirculated, etc... and the problem goes away for a few weeks or months, then seems to come back worse.

What I am considering is using a 1,000 gallon water tank I have access to, to backwash the well. The plan is to fill the tank, disinfect the water, wait a few days to let the well recover (if it even does, I've never had a supply issue), disinfect the well following normal procedures, then drain the tank back into the well (at concentration levels).

My concept idea is to get that bleach water into the pack(?) around the bottom of the well and disinfect it. I don't know if this is going to solve the problem entirely, but if it gives prolonged remediation, it might be worth the effort every couple of years or whatever?

Lemme know what you think.

Bought a house a while ago and it came with propane tanks owned by the supplier. Used them for years but eventually I switched to a different heating system that didn't use propane.

I cancelled the propane service and asked them to come get their tanks. They wanted me to pay for them to, but I told them no and to come get their tanks or I would file to take possession of them.

They charged me a rental fee and did eventually come and get their tanks, but charged me for it and sent my account to a collections agency!

This seems pretty crazy, and for now, I'm just ignoring it because... What do you do?

Is this legit? It's not a small amount of money, and my account was otherwise in good standing...
