[QUOTE="Utah, post: 61261, member: 1043"] Thanks for the replies!! Here are some answers to those replies: Q.Have you opened the shutoff valve yet? A. Yes... Q. Did anything happen if you did? A. Nothing happened, I think it was already opened. No flow. Q. Have you dropped a nut on a string down the pipe to see if there is water? A. Cant get to that point until I cut off the valve - it is at a 90' angle. Q. How deep is the well? If there is water, how far down to reach water? A. I dont know yet. I had a backhoe last week. I dug right by it to see if water came in the hole. At about 5 feet deep, nothing came in at all. Q. Power available within reasonable distance? A. Yes, I am trying to get the city to determine my rural address for a hook-up, What a big pain in the rump! Q. Did you dig down a bit to see if there is a buried well top just below the surface? A. I dug around it, maybe 2 1/2 feet. the top deeper if it is there. I will go deeper this weekend. Q. Any posts nearby with wiring on them that seems to go no where? A. No Cables around the post. Q. Any vertical metal boxes nearby? A. None Q. Talk to any neighbours who might be in the know? A. The only guy that might know stole my fence and gates. He kept horses on it until I bought it. He was mad that he didnt steal the property too - he is no help (since the sheriff has called him) :lol: Does anyone out there use a windmill water pump? Maybe that would work. I need to get an electric pump with generator to suck on that pipe to see what it brings up. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
