Dig your own water well?

[Lycanthrope]

I little more searching and I found info suggesting that the deeprock manufacturing website is a scam, the original company went out of business in 2011 or so. Supposedly someone took over their website and are crooks. I did a search on the new address and it certainly doesnt look from the air like a place that would be manufacturing drilling equipment, especially some of the larger truck mounted rigs shown on the website. FWIW... ;:;banghead

Hmmm,for drinking water I would'nt use water that was at least past the 1st layer of clay,sure ya might find surface shallow water in area's with sand/gravel sitting above the clay layer with a high water table but this water will have all the nasties filtering through from the surface,so this means area fertilizer's,pestisides and other contaninates will be in this water that shouldn't be consumed.

This would just be for drip irrigation for trees, lawn etc down the road.

5" cased well not 4" unless you are using a jet pump. Most submersible pumps measure between 3 1/2 to 4" so you may stuff them down 4" casing but any rust or sludge buildup above them makes them permanently installed. The exception are the Grundfos SQ or SQE lines which will fit down 4" wells with ease but spin at 10,000 rpm's so wear out much faster. Sand is their enemy. Any company that drills wells will sell you casing, screen and supplies. They might also buy them back from you when you hire them to come finish your well!

Now that's funny! I bet no bee seller, salt distributor, or Hispanic vanilla maker will give you that kind of reach around!

I would highly recommend getting water tested. 20 yrs ago we purchased a home North of Jmst. which was also had rural water but had its own well. The pump was bad, so had it and motor replaced (60'depth). Watered like crazy. Couldn't get new trees or garden to grow worth a shit. Had water tested, said it shouldn't be even used for irrigation, sodium content was way to high. Dug all dirt out of garden and replaced trees and dirt. Flourishing now, lesson well learned.
