I built a new house on 40 acres back in 95. Had a very good spring in the hollow behind the house. The local well guy developed it for us and we used it for all our water needs for 10 years. He dug down on the uphill side of the wet area to find the max flow seepage point. Then he dug out a huge hole with his backhoe. He put in 7 round concrete tile sections-a stack of 3 and a stack of 4. I was told that they are 200 gallon each. Then two loads of peagravel. The water from the spring ran into this cistern. This was covered by heavy plastic and then aboaut 4 feet of topsoil. They put an 8 inch pvc pipe in the middle and ran a water line below the frost level from the spring about 600 feet up to our house. A submersible pump was attched to the water line and pumped the water uphill to our house. Worked great-just like a regular well. I still use that water for watering my garden and for our horses. Went to city water when it came thru here in case I ever want to sell the house to a city slicker sometime down the road. Don"t know if it was up to code though.
