I have to wonder about the well here.
We are up on a plain at 800ft overlooking Lake Huron at 576ft.
Neighbours all around have 250-375ft deep wells into the bed rock with the water approx 100ft down Approx 90ft of clay and gravel over burden on top of the rock.
The previous owner who drilled the well didn't go as deep to save money.Actual depth unknown but rumoured to be 160ft.
For some reason the water here rises to within 20ft of the surface?
Ground water here flows west towards Lake Huron from the west side of the Niagara Escarpment1400-1600ft. Which runs north from the Falls and up the Bruce Peninsula.
No sand or gravel in the water but I'm wondering if this well is surface water about the bed rock. Instead of water from the bedrock?
Well will flow all day at 15gpm and only drop inches.
