You're lucky to get water at 140-160 feet. I had a local drilling company service my well a few months ago, the technician told me that a few of the wells they have done recently have been 500-600 feet deep, you can imagine how bad the feeling was that the homeowners listened to the noisy drilling sound and $1,000 by $1,000 were flying away every once in a while. . . Hahaha...
