My brother Paul may have that- I'll check with him. Thanks for the hep with this- you are a great resource in getting this pond up to snuff!

Prices I'
m getting from other drillers are anything from $12/ft (75ft. minimum) plus casing cement (added$2/ft) plus extras to $14/foot plus $500 for allt he stuff at the bottom (screen/plates etc.) to $16/foot all included. Everybody prices it a little differently I am finding.

I did read Steve's link tothe Flowing Weel MDEQ pdf file- wow- quite a resource and some pretty wild stories of wells that got out of control- can you imagine a 12,000 gpm geyser- that's only 17 million gallons a day- basically a new river popped up!

Any idea what thos ecounty / city well permits cost??? Am I in for more sticker shock?
Interesting reading! I'd kill for an artesian well! That would be no bill for $100.00 per month when I run the well!

Don't know about your permits up there, just know the Michigan DEQ has gone off the deep end. I'm all for the enviroment but these people are ridiculous!

Steve's the expert on geology, wells etc. I think you got me mixed up with him. I just talk a lot. ;\)


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
