Water Wells
Important Decisions
When an individual is building a new home and a municipal water
system is not available, the homeowner must then make a decision
about including the installation of an artesian well into his/her plans.
Complex questions such as whether to choose between percussion
rotary drilling or straight percussion (the cable tool method) , are
made simple because Connecticut Wells offers both services. Many
different factors should be taken into consideration .Our trained
representatives will be happy to answer any and all questions you
may have without obligation, in order to help you make a decision
about your well and other needs regarding your water system.
How Much Water Will You Need?
By planning wisely, a water well can supply you with all the water
you need now and in the future. Every household has different
water requirements depending on the size of the family and number
of appliances and plumbing fixtures. Our representatives will be
happy to design a well system to fit your particular demands.
When Should The Well Be Drilled?
Any time is a good time to drill an artesian well. Once the location
for the well is staked out and approved, our machines can roll in .
In most cases your well can be drilled in just two working days.
Depending on weather conditions, this is possible throughout the
four seasons. We can offer you this efficient year-round service
because we use the most modern equipment and techniques to
assure you an adequate supply of water.
Water And Your Well
Of all the fresh water in the
world, 97% occurs
underground. Only 3% is
located in all lakes, streams
and rivers. This 97% is put
into two categories, surface
water and ground water. See
the profile drawing to the
right. Generally speaking,
ground water from a drilled
well is purer in most aspects
than surface water, and is
potable in its natural state.
Regardless of opinion, all
water should be tested before
it is used for consumption.
Location Of The Well
Whenever possible the well should be located at a higher elevation
than the septic system or other sources of possible contamination. For
example, buried fuel tanks,drains, etc. Depending on your area, there
are many different state and local regulations that must be followed
regarding the location of your well. Our experience can be very
beneficial and in most cases, can save you costly errors before work
begins.
How Much Will The Job Cost?
The total cost of a drilled well can vary considerably due to several
factors. These factors are: 1) Depth of the finished well. 2) Length of
the casing required. 3) Pump and accessories necessary to complete
the water system. Our company will provide, free of charge, a
complete estimate of costs prior to beginning work. Our modern drilling
techniques and experience enables us to maintain a competitive price
while delivering superior service that our customers have grown to rely
on.
