A few years back, I worked on a rural water project in SW SD. Well was drilled to 3,400 feet. Static pressure from Madison aquifer (excellent quality water) pushed water up to about 500 feet from surface. Multi-stage submersible pump set at 600 feet will provide 150 gpm to 85,000 gallon ground storage tank. The tank provides all needed pressure for the system. All lines buried at 7 feet to top of pipe. Provides water to about 35 taps, including pasture taps. Base rate was $70.00 per month, per tap. (Several ranches had 4-5 taps per ranch.) Cost of water based on usage was estimated at $4.50/1000 gallons of usage. (Pumping costs estimated to be about $4,000 per month.) No minimum usage gallons was included in the base rate. Average usage was estimated to be 20,000 per tap per month, primarily livestock watering, some household usage (+/- 15 households). Limited poor quality shallow water wells available in area. Shallow wells and stock dams unreliable during dry summers. There are about 120 miles of pipe lines in the system. Construction cost was about $3,100,000, well and pump were about 1/3 of cost.
