Everyone needs water, problem is water is not cheap anymore. Sad thing is if you give a young couple free 5 acres of land, they need 50k for place to poop and get a drink of water. Average septic system prices start at 8k and go to 20k. Average water well prices start at 10k and go up. In some states wells can cost up to 25k. This is why many people are doing research and thinking of drilling there own water well. Here is simple test, answer the questions.
1.How deep are you drilling?
2.Do you have soft sand, or will you have hard rock formations?
3.What price range drill are you looking to buy?
The deeper you drill, the more money it takes, because you will need better equipment, not just a toy rig. Soft sand drills easy, and you can get by with less priced drill rigs. 3k to 8k, will be toy drill rig. Over 10k you will start to get better, and after 15k, you will have a real drill rig. www.drillcat.com has books, plans and parts to build your own drill. If you can't do it right, it is better to wait until you can. If you have 3 or more water wells, this would be a better investment that paying to have it drilled. Remember in all 50 states well contractors by law do not have to promise water, or quality of water. The only promise you get is that they will cash check before the sun goes down.
