Just had my first experience with drilling a new water well. Pretty amazing piece of equipment to watch. Took about 12 hours to hit 620 ft. According to my driller we have right at 4 gal/minute replenish rate, a 570ft head of water with the pump sitting at 585; this gives us an 800 gal reservoir in the well. 4 gal/min doesn't sound like a lot, but with reserve we should have more than enough for two people. We have a spring house as well on the property, but I don't have power to it yet.
