Had a new well dug about a month ago.
420' deep
Pump is at 180'
Water Table is between 16'-180' feet
260 feet of 4" casing; the remaining is 2" casing
3/4 HP Goulds Pump
Well Rite WR60 Tank
Location: Southern Delaware
Sent a sample to the State for a water test. Here are their results:
Fluoride: 0.54 mg/L
Chloride: 2.6 mg/L
Nitrate (as N): <0.1 mg/L
Nitrate (as N): < 0.3 mg/L
Sulfate: 0.7 mg/L
Hardness: 28.8 mg/L
Sodium: 76.0 mg/L
Iron: 0.15 mg/L
Alkalinity: 206 mg/L
Does everything look ok???
The state called and said there was e Coli found in the well. They said that this is normal in new wells. We contacted the well driller. He came back and shocked the well again. We sent another test to the state.....haven't got the new test results back yet.
-- Is it normal for e Coli to show up in a new well?
-- Is there anything I can do to prevent it from coming back?
Thanks.
