Yep... like they said, you hit pay dirt!
I too have a large well...but, to keep from bragging, I won't mention that it's 100gpm
Today, "now that I know what I know".... I would have at least contemplated putting two pumps down there. One pump down for residential use and perhaps another pump higher up for outdoor faucets & lawn things.
I don't know if that would even be allowed.. so it's merely me wishful thinking as I realize I am at most, pissing away 90 gallons per minute as my pump is rated for 10 (although I think I actually get closer to 20 if I recall)
I was told a 100gpm well could provide enough water for 12/15 homes.
During a drought that we had over the last couple years, I used my water to fill the tank on the trailer so that we could keep the blueberries and grapes watered.
What I find interesting is, my father in law gets something like 10/15 gpm (he lives two doors down). My wifes uncle (lives next door) has something like a 5 gpm... and we hit the mother load.
