Question:

How do I go about getting a water well in my yard?

I want to get a water well pump in my yard but I have no Idea how to go about getting one, I would like to hire someone to do it but who does that kind of work? Who should I call and how much would it cost?

Answer:

to keep this short , a well digger cost depends on the variables, 800- 3500.00
Looking in the yellow pages for Water well drilling and services will get you started. Getting quotes from different ones will tell you how much it will cost drilling a water well in your area. They charge by the foot. In this area it can cost as much as $10,000. It will cost you several thousand.
Too many variables...you can have an excavator dig one if there is water that high up or you can have one drilled. In my area you will be looking at maybe $2500 for a dug one (if you are lucky and only want 4 or 5 tiles) or $2500 to start drilling and then you will pay so much per foot after the initial drill allotment which varies with areas and companies..it can run you ten thousand depending on how deep the well must be. You can start by calling excavating companies in your area if your neighbours have dug wells or well drillers in your area if that is what is more of in your area. If you drill and hit rock, it costs more..of course you might not be able to dig in your area because of rock.
