I'm considering having a deep well dug on some lakeshore property and am in the process of getting some bids.
Some say they no longer do 2" wells and will only do 4-6". Some have quotes for PVC, some for galvanized. Is there an accepted standard now with using PVC vs steel? The 2" would probably suffice for the small cabin that is there now but if in the future we'd like to do a year round home I think we'd be better with a 4".
Neighbors have gone around 180 feet to get good water, one has an artesian well (not sure what that is, other than he has a small pond out back that runs year round). Long winded question is PVC best or galvanized? Are there any advantages to an artesian well?
Thanks,
Jim
