you wont regret drilling a well. i put one in for the trout pond 1/4 acre it runs continually and i fill many ponds with it also. a good well will keep up with output i pump 50000 gallons a day and i could double that and it wouldnt even phase it. its worth it . i caught 3 brook trout and 1.5 lb rainbow in 6 minutes tonight. great fun
