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.
I had them bring 2000 gallons and dump in the barn cistern, got a small pressure pump and set in the basement, reverse fed the house from the cistern for flushing water. I had to go down to the ditch once a day, bought a gas pump, and drew 270 gallons of water from the ditch to water the cattle. So probably have $500 invested in those supplies.
Actually had things working a little too well; the well guys were swamped with work this fall, and I had things working so well they took 2 extra weeks to get to me, others were not able to get along without a well and needed service first.....
