Jim - Most wells run approximately $1500-2000 per 100 ft. PLUS the cost of the pump. We have been told that you need to have at least a 3hp pump, but that a 5hp is much better for use when filling a pond. We were also told by the driller to not to run the pump for more than a few hours at a time because you can burn it out and they are not cheap! I paid about $4500 for mine.

Lastly, I am so curious about all the postings where people just mention that they will dig a well. Is Colorado the only state where you have to purchase the water separately from the land for irrigation or pond use?
