I know there has been many posts on wells. I just had a couple thoughts/ questions on this. The pond is almost done. Hopefully a shop will go up on the property this fall. The plan then is to begin building a house on the property next year. I just received my bid to get electric for $8000. I also received a bid for a well for the pond for $10,000 (all inclusive to 240' with 25 gpm pump, wiring, etc.).

The DNR prohibits above 70 gpm well capacity per property without a permit and annual fees, so I want to stay below that. Does it make more sense to have two separate wells, one for house and buildings and one for the pond, or a higher capacity single well? The single well will end up being quite a bit cheaper. Any input appreciated. Thanks once again!!
