Anybody know about what the going rate is to drill a water well right now? How much $ per foot to drill, cost of equipment, etc.

About $1500 to $2000 with the tank and pump. Could be a little more if you go with the submergable pump.

Can you do this any where? We have well water at the camp and I like it. Nothing like some good cold hose pipe water when we are working! I might be interested in drilling a well on my property.

I don't know if you can or not. I agree the cold well water is good but I don't miss having to prime the well early in the morning when it's raining and freezing cold....those were the days...

You have to prime the well even if it is used every day?

No, the well will stay primed, but what Blue is referring to is when it is freezing outside and you wake up and the well lost prime for whatever reason: loss of electicity or the lines froze up, and you have to go out there freezing your "****" off to prime it.


Wells never seem to lose prime on warm sunny days!

Ive had well water pretty much my whole life and the only time you lose prime is if you run the water when the electricity is off or you dont run the water when your pipes could freeze

My dad had a few issues with priming his well. Bad foot valve.
Since it was replaced, no priming for the past 2 years.

I would pay to be the first one in a subdivision to run the water line in!!!!! Then, everyone else would have to pay me to tap into it!!!!!

my dad owned a water well service since I was 5yrs old but he just sold it all a few years ago...not sure about the going prices right now...if any of you have any problems or questions about wells shoot me a pm and I can answer any of your questions but prices..I still do a few repairs here and there for some of the people around my house though.
