I'm sure you guys have to deal with a lot more rock than we do down here which would attribute to a higher cost per foot of depth. My driller went to over 300 before we decided to come back up to 200. There was a good vein there, and he figured he probably wouldn't find another vein till 400+. We had the right kind of sand and so far I can't complain about the quality. I was checking the pond this morning to see if our rain event had made any difference to the chemistry. While I was at it, I checked my well water. Its got better Ph, alk and hardness than my pond. It's actually got me wondering if I wouldn't be better off supplementing my pond water on a regular basis from the well (say one day a week for 10 - 12 hours). Maybe someone more in the know will chime in on it.

I don't think they ever hit solid rock. Just a lot of gravel and shell.

I can't imagine having to pay 10k+ for each well.
