Test Pump Running

A portable generator has been brought in to run the test pump. The well is a success at this point.

Running the Copper

Today they were running down the water pipe with the electric. They will be working late into the night.

concrete

Concrete has been placed. This piece of pipe will be sent down to clear out any debris that may be at the bottom of the well.













Tentatively scheduled Thursday is to put down the test pump and run it for approximately 3 days.

Casing

The casing has been placed. We have an official hole in the ground.

The drillers will be working late again tonight, but not all night this time. They anticipate being done tonight by 8 if the weather holds.

I found an excellent article that gives a general explanation of water well drilling.

MSDS Drilling Mud

A request has been made for the msds on the drilling mud.

Casement Placement

Drilling is close to the end. They are at 820 feet, need to pull up the drilling stem, case it, and pack it now to maintain the well hole. They will be working well into the night.
