for what its worth im in louisiana, a long way from you. i had a well drilled and it cost me about $7,000.00, but i dont have to worry about my pond. I originally dug it at about 1 acre, then before pond boss i stocked per the hatchery's guidlines. needless to say im very overstocked, so i dug another acre and a half to try and give the fish room to grow. if i wouldn't have done the well i would have lost everything, it has been running steady for 7 months just to maintain the water level. i dont know if ill ever be able to turn it off but it only costs me about $100.00 a month for a well that keeps my pond at full pool, worth it to me many times fold.
