When my well was dug it was measured at 438 US gallons per minute. That is 26,280 per hr or 630,720 us gallons per day. I took 14 days this last summer to fill my 3 acre pond at the cost of about $500. Have the electric meter on agriculture pricing. BTW a foot of water over 1 acre is 325,851 gallons.
Fatih the problem is the chemicals do not kill the fish directly. The chemicals kill the Algea & other aquatic vegetation first. The decay process from the dead stuff often removes to much oxygen from the water in a pond envroment. I had this happen when they local water athority had to let some water out of a line a 1/4 mile up hill from my 1/2 acre pond. The runoff made it into the spring that fed into my pond. I did not discover what had happened until the water sample I pulled from the pond after seeing cat fish come up gullping for air came back with traces of chlorine. I am not saying it can not be done in small quantities. I am just saying you will need to be careful in how you do it.
Rmedger I am between Troy and Enterprise just outside of Troy. I have a connection to hook a hose for the fire water truck if need be. A full 18 wheel tanker holds just over 6,000 gallons, so I can have you loaded in about 15 minutes at the cost of about 25 cents for electric use.
Dave the well is 8" with a 10 hp pump. I am around 180' above see level and have it cased around 220' and pump from around 210' down (30 to 40' below sea level. I actually believe I am currently pumping more than what it was originally tested at. The water level is currently about 5' to 10' down from the top of the well.
Fatih you are truly going to have an oasis. Without much vegetation around you may consider putting in some kind of artificial turf around the pond and have the rain that lands on it diverted into the pond. Simply math says you would need about 1/2 acre diverted to your pond to mke up for the evaporation. Reallity is it is never just that simply as you will probably be getting to much water when you do not need it instead of when you do need it.
