What to consider before drilling a well?

There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself.

1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies.

2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible?

3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured?

4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM?

5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI?

6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly.

Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.
