Q. What is a well? According to DNR code NR812 (the well code) “Well” means, any drillhole or other excavation or opening deeper than it is wide that extends more than 10 feet below the ground surface constructed for the purpose of obtaining groundwater.

|
Q. Where does my well water come from? Well water comes from either sand and gravel aquifer or a bedrock aquifer. Which aquifer your water comes from differs from area to area. Both aquifers can produce very high quality water.
|
Q. I currently have city water; will I notice a difference with a well? No, your well and pumping system will be constructed to produce water that will rival the best city water. But you most likely will need a water softener or treatment to assure the highest quality water.
|
Q. How long does a well last? Under normal conditions a well should last 50 years and a pump should last seven to ten years with some pumps lasting 25 + years. The variation is mainly due to the quality of water and amount of use.
|
Q. How do you know what the water quality will be before you drill? Unfortunately there are no guarantees with geology, but using our years of experience coupled with local knowledge we have a very good record of obtaining very good quality water in most areas.
