No we have good water all around me, the problem is that the well supplied the house up until about 15 years ago and it had not been used for a long time and has silted up the other 2 houses one across the street and the one behind me through the woods that were built before the county ran a line through here have wells about 60 ft and have great water although they only use it for watering around the house. I have designed a control circuit that pumps the water to a level 2 ft above the top of the pump and then shuts off until the casing fills up to about 6 ft below the surface so I am pumping as much in a day as the well will allow. It is just with the limestone silted up there is not much flow and takes awhile to refill the casing Was thinking maybe a quarter stick might help out to open a few more fractures in the limestone! We have a limestone shelf at about 15 ft below the surface and a large underground lake at about 60 ft in this area. You just have to get through the limestone to get to it. I am about 15 ft higher than the 100 year flood plain for our local creek.
