How much was the cost of the well not including the pump?

@Willamadillo

Now that you’ve dug a well, and know the costs and trouble with it, would you prefer to buy land with an existing well, and spend a bit more for the land, or is drilling the well yourself worth the time and money?...and why, of course.

Do you plan on going old school and putting a hand pump outside? Can you still use your well now even though your house isn't built yet?

How many chickens deep is your well? I’m pretty sure that’s the official unit of measurement for wells...

How is the seismic activity and do you factor that in when digging for a well?

@pearlbubbles6885

How do you maintain a well, do you have to get the water tested monthly?

@razman_offgrid-dusun

The well is going to be the primary source of your water needs. Are you considering an above ground secondary water storage for on demand water or are you going to tap directly from the well?

@tarapaul8212

Also, will you have a cistern for the well water?

@richardburguillos3118

Will you be having the water tested? What’s the water plan? Will you be pumping to a tank and from tank to house? Will you have a large storage tank as part of any fire fighting or emergency plan?

Could you utilize your old water source for irrigation of your gardens?

@evada4144

What laws are there about owning and extracting ground water in the US or your area, do you have to pay for the water you will extract? You also talked about droughts but did you think about overdraft lowering the level of surface water? Thank you :-)
