[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 482958, member: 144"] Yes, sorry, typing too fast. 4" = typo. I'm refering to what around here is a normal run of the mill production well with 6" casing for a house, windmill, livestock water supply, etc.; and not a big irrigation well. And I know the answers to all those questions for my 3 existing wells. But I don't know about a small diameter, uncased test well. I've looked, and asked, and had different answers from different drillers, neighbors, and such. Some say a test well only show if there's water down there; not how much. Others say a test well can show how good (productive) a well will be. I don't know who's right. Locally, a new well, cased with 6" pvc, graveled in, with pitless, runs $17.50 per foot. A test well, depending on who does it, runs around $3 per foot, with adjusted price options if you then drill a well on site. In our "iffy" country where I need the next well, with the red bed at over 500 feet, it sure might pay to go with the test well(s) first. I'd just like to know, for sure, how much real info can be developed from one of these test holes. [/QUOTE]
