Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Below is a diagram of the well in my back yard. A couple weeks ago, due to a fire in the shop, I had to remove the pump etc. In this process I wrung off the bolts that attached the pump assembly to the 2" well casing and the 1 1/4" galvanized supply pipe. Due to not knowing then what I do now I cut the pipes about 12" above the ground and the 1 1/4" galvanized pipe fell to the bottom of the 108' deep well. At this time the water table is at 22' and the top of the cut galvanized 1 1/4" pipe is at 67', meaning the original galv 1 1/4" pipe was about 43' long. I purchased a 95lb pull magnet in hopes I could pull the galv. pipe out but no luck. Here are my questions.
1. Is there a way to retrieve the 1 1/4" Galv pipe out of the 2" PVC?
2. Is it possible to insert a new 1 1/4" PVC pipe with a foot on it down the existing 2" pvc casing to the 65' depth and be able to sustain pumping without pulling all the water out of the 2" pvc casing before it refills?
Does anyone have a reasonable plan of action?
