Outlaw wells
People who drill there own water wells in remote locations sometimes
refer to there water well as a outlaw well. Out law wells are water wells
that are not permitted and are not on the books at the county court
house. Some water wells now permitted even registered on GPS. With
many new regulations many people are reverting to outlaw wells. It
used to be just survival nut jobs doing this, but now local farmers,
family's and religious groups are even looking to drill under trees, in the
woods and I even had one guy tell he drilled a water well in his
basement with 3 ft drill pipe. With satellite images now, some people
are drilling where it can not be seen by air. People everywhere realize
water is more than important. If Hard times come, you can have all the
Y2K beans and rice stash you want, but you still need water to live.
Hand pumps work for shallow wells( shallow hand pump priced at
50.00 for china made), but deep wells need special hand pumps.
Special hand pumps for deep wells prices start at 450 to 750.00. Solar
pumps are cheaper than the better hand pumps. 250 ft or less static
water level you can use a SURFLOW D/C solar pump. Water levels
deeper than 250 ft require a better solar pump like grunfos ( 1500.00) .
Remember, even though you live the USA, and own your land,
Depending on the state and county regulations, you may have to ask
permission to drill for your own water.
One of the bad things about getting a drilling permit, is if you do not hit
water and have to move over and drill again. You will need a new drill
permit for every hole you drill. Holes that are dry and have no water,
may require to be plugged and you may need a well plug permit.
All the permit laws are for water safety they say.
Even though in all 50 states you can drill 15,000 ft deep oil well through
100s of aquifer formations without anyone having a well drilling licence.
But to drill a water well 100ft all 50 states require a drilling licence.
All goes to show you the Golden Rule. He with all the Gold rules!
