My water well is a dug well that is about 45 feet deep, with a drilled well in the center. My guess is that the dug well was the original well on the property, and at some point in the past they upgraded by installing the drilled well in the center of the dug well.
Had some well guys out to fix a minor problem with a yard hydrant, and got to talking with them about the well. They recommended I upgrade the well to current state code. The plan would be to fill in the dug well with Ag Lime, and install a new Campbell Adapter and well cap. Makes sense to me, I figure I’d rather just go ahead and get it done so that it’s up to code, and more importantly so that its able to be worked on in case of problems. As it stands right now, the well guys aren't able to work on the pump or anything becasue they won't go down into the dug well.
Anyone ever had this done before? Any pitfalls or problems? I’m always hesitant to mess with old stuff that has been working OK. I’m afraid it will end up bringing on all sorts of other problems.
