Steve:
The pond is located in West Branch MI, where there are more artesian wells than I've seen anywhere. You drive down the road and there is another free flowing pipe every 1/2 mile or less. West Branch is little more than half way up north in the Lower Peninsula, or about 130 miles north of the Detroit area right up I-75 if you know MI.
We are unsure about how deep the flowing atrtesian well is. I suppose it might be worthwhile to remove the rubber elbow bend pipe connection and actually shove a measurement stick down there to check it out. Scary, I never of putting anything in there (so as not to mess with a 50 yr. old good running flow). Might be a good next step- duh on me?
All I currently know is that a neighbor said he hit water at 32 ft. and our current impact well project is stuck at about max. 28 ft. (negihbor is perhaps 1000 ft. away.
