Well Pump Trouble

[ClinchValley86]

I've got the sulfur water here. Everyone around has it. I figure it has some benefits too.

I think a negative aspect is it deplete copper levels in livestock. Somehow Otherwise it's been no issue other than the smell. It is in gas form though. Easy to get rid of it if you felt so inclined, if I understand it right

This property is has water rights to a spring across the road and up the mountain. Some idiot ruined it a couple years ago. I need to replumb that back to the house. Tricky part is getting a pipe under the county road. Probably best to call the county. Be cool of they'd leave me a sleeve down there I could run thru

Directional boring... simple, unless you're in rock.

At the bottom of the big hill I installed a 90 degree shutoff valve. Then drained the water past it.

Well guy said they are don't install them on new wells anymore. He's been with em for 16 years and said they were big before he got started.

He suggested an entirely new well drilled back there He was telling me about his, his pump sits at 640 feet.

IF you have that much fall to your house from a well at the top, you'll have to install a pressure limiter to bring it down to acceptable levels.

The small city I live in is appropriately named for it's early days and there's a bronze plaque down at what used to be a town square explaining it. Got a cowboy on a horse, with the horse obviously coming to a screeching halt and the caption inscribed on the plaque shows the cowboy exclaiming "EGADS! Copperas Water!"
(Those that originally settled the town, found the water coming out the side of a small 'mountain' had a terrible copper taste, which is why we now pay a premium for water brought 40 mile over Rattlesnake Mountain from Lake Belton and the lake named after the house that never moves. Instead of a copperas smell, our water often smells like mud or fish.. )

Bill was still $1040 . Charged to pull and out back. But yes, looking for some cows this weekend. Need 2 ready to go.

Not bad for that debth. It's pretty much $1000 minimum here every time we go in a well and the pumps are at like 100-200'.

I despise pipe wells for cattle and stuff because we have to get a rig. I can pull a small pump by hand on poly... for now.
