    Well that was very interesting! So much so close to the surface. When I had mine dug 44 years ago here in NE Ohio, they put a cast iron 6" pipe down 75'. We drilled a hole in the side for a Pitless adaptor and hung the 1 1/4" black water pipe and pump from that. Pipe and electric runs 4' underground to the nearby 10x10' basement that holds all the electric, control box, pressure gauge and water tank, as well as my water purification system and hot water tank. I never worry about below 0 temps as that basement stays warm-even when it was 25 below. I've already changed out everything, which was a breeze being in the basement.

    In NY our well drilling trucks don't require water. They drill until they find it. Then I have them test every new water hole for all contaminants. If they find any, they have to keep drilling until they find a pocket that passes all tests.

    My late husband worked for a well driller company in St Louis Michigan. I remember when we drilled our well we got to 100' he said 1 more pipe if we didn't hit water it cost so much a foot afterwards. I was lucky at 112' hit a spring and had so much water. Test said it was perfect, but up by my house it was 75' and nasty, iron, so much yuk. We had the tank under our house w the pump inside the 5" casing. Cost me $4500, back in 2007. Here in Arizona its like 20k for first 120', no guarantee. We witched in Michigan. Did you have it witched to see where it water was? Hooray water on the Ridge🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
