We need a second well on our dairy, between plate cooler, drinking, sprinklers and washdown, the old well cant keep up when weather gets really warm I have an estimate for $8500 for a new 80' well.
Current well is 40', shouldn't need to go much farther. This price includes pump system and complete installation of plumbing and electrical work, setting a screen in well bottom etc. Company has a reputation for being fast and doing good work, says they can do it in 3 days total and start it right away. Does this seem reasonable? Been a long time since we've had a well done. Thanks.
Don't know what prices are there but here I would think that even that might be low.
Would suggest that you consider a variable speed pump - - - more money up front but better supply AND reduced energy costs and that will pay off long term!! |
reasonable well drilling cost?
