Dave's absolutely right. You should talk to a local well driller -- actually get estimates and talk to more than one. Not only should they be well versed on what you will need, they should know what kind of ground water potential you have.

The reason I say to get estimates from more than one well driller as I found wide variances on prices. Cheaper is not always better, but I had one well driller quote me twice as much as the other for the same thing. One was about $4000.00 for well pump and assessories, and drilling while another was half of that. I went with the cheaper one and am not sorry. I have checked the quality of my well pump and it is top quality.

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