Well Water Issues, Again.

[thingy]

Well,if it comes straight up outa ground,than it should be pretty simple to rig it up,not no spring expert,,,,but you goota dig down and contain it under ground,if it comes up instead of out the side of a hill like the ones I talked about,maybe it would even be simpler? dig down and your cistern goes over it,,or maybe a small cistern so's you can clean it out,,that leads to a bigger cistern,where you store the water and put your pump? if you can make that first one so's it collects any mud and such,,all the water going to main holding cistern should be clean.....they make these big plastic water tanks,some real big,,but they have small openings I think,,be hard to clean,,they make concrete ones too with a man way,like a septic tank,,,for your first tank,,maybe a big dia. plastic culvert type pipe,,,with some kinda lid rigged up on top,,drill holes in sides,,make 1 inch over flow at top,,gravel around it,,,bet if you did a search on internet for springs you would find all kind of ideas,,,,,but you'd still have to pump it to your home unless it is uphill from your home,,,but that should be doable,,,just need to talk to somebody who knows how big a pump,plus an electrician,,,how far is it and how much lower is it than your home? thingy
