My estimate was $12,000, but they went 100 feet deeper than the estimate. Also need to close the old well, state mandate, probably another $2000. I had a water spigot put in as long as all the equipment was there, 50 feet away, so that will add up. Electrician and boring bills too. I'm figuring about $20,000 when it all get done.
Yes, wife freaked without water. We collect roof water in a cistern for the soft (hot) water so we still had something.
