Hope yoy have success on finding water well. I grew up on a farm in South Dakota only water was over 2000 ft artesian well that had to be pumped. 3 in casing. Many years back they dropped pipe in the casing by accident while pulling it up for instaling new leathers in the pump. They just left it as water level was above it. Later on many years the water level dropped and couldnt get to water level do to pipes in the casing. I had to haul water ten miles from a watertower in a small city for house use.

We had a hard water well that we finally had to call the Culligan man otherwise a plumber from stained toilets and other fixtures. It was a about $2000 from Culligan but from the time it was installed to the present day that's one of the best home improvements we ever made. Clean clear water from your own well while the sinks and toilets were the same way. Thumbs up for the Culligan man!!!

Here in South Africa, esspesially in the dry Karoo region, we normally drill for water at the side of a Dollerite ridge, or a Shale ridge. The ridge blocks the underground drainage and give a supply of water. Sometimes a strong flow and other places just a little supply of water. Sometimes salty water.

You are basically hoping Mike That the well you drill is being fed via that slue but due to all the rock and ground underneath will act as a natural Filter, Reducing the cost on the overall house water system in the end. If you had to draw directly from the Slue with a pump it would cost alot to clean it. Great idea! H2o Mechanic would definitely find you water haha.

The results are published on the Internet. Private drilling requires authorization from the State Mining Research Bureau. All wells must be watertight to prevent direct surface pollution.
