About to drill a well in Northern Arizona. Well depth is around 360 feet with around 30-40GPM of water at that level. Here is what they priced out:
Drilling = 6.5" Bore Hole - 380 @ $10 per foot = $3,800
Casing = 7" Steel = $500
Casing 4.5" PVC Solid = $1,120
Casing Perforated 4.5" PVC = $500
Permit Fee and Mode/Demobe = $550
TOTAL = $6,470
PUMP SYSTEM = Grundfos SQE Constant Pressure 1.5HP - 10GPM - Motor Set @ 360 = $3,720
Pump Model = 10SQE15-330
Pump Controls = Grundfos Constant Pressure CU301 w/ 2 Gallon Pressure Tank
TOTAL Pump system = $3,900 w tax
TOTAL WELL COSTS = $10,370
Questions:
1 - How does the above look? Decent pricing? Anything out of line?
2 - Is that Grundfos pump good? I was thinking about a higher output (more than 10GPM - maybe 30GPM)
3 - Should anything be modified to the above proposal?
4 - Is it possible to run that well pump on a gas powered generator for a while until I start building my home? I need the water for site work (compaction, concrete)
5 - What's a good gas or diesel generator to run that well pump during construction?
