My brother inherited our parents house and we have an artesian well. I do not know at this time how deep the well is or anything about it, or how to figure this out since they are both deceased. The house was built in the mid 70's I believe. The problem is that he has been remodeling the house now that the estate is closed and it has been sitting for the past 3 years. Now that he got the electric back on he is in the final stages, he went to run the water and it is brown "river water" as he described it. He opened up all the faucets and let the water run for about 4 hours. He told me that when he shut it back off there was sand in the sinks. What is going on?
PS An uncle stated that maybe since the well sat for so long without being used that the sides may have collapsed and my brother was going to have to get a new well dug.
Please please help! He cannot afford a new well and cannot refinance the house to get one..there has to be something else going on ( I hope)
