[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1742982, member: 19322"] I have a hand dug well that is about 6' dia. laced with large rock, 23' down to the muck and mud, then 3' to the bottom. Has a hand pump at the top setting on a concrete slap. I also installed a shallow well pump that supplies a automatic waterer and a couple of hydrants. I have tried to drain the well down by running the pump for hours, just to see if I could, but can't. It has an overflow line coming out about one foot below the slab. Several months out of the year water runs from that line. A few years back had a couple stop by and ask if the well was still there and in the '30's folks would come there to get water. So it's been there a long time and has good water. How would I get the muck and mud out of the bottom? Hire someone with a big pump to agitate it to muddy water and pump it? [/QUOTE]
