I ran the water too much today (now cloudy and debris)
I ran the water too much today (over an hour twice). I ended up with not only cloudy water but now it has something that looks like sand in it. I really messed up. My plan is to let the well sit for 2 days and let it recover. Obviously I'll have to flush toilets etc. I'm really nervous about this. All this mess is in my pump, holding tank and copper pipes under the house. My new bored well is 64 deep and I'm guessing had water about 35-40 feet deep. Well company said I should recover about 35 gal per hour but I'm not sure since this area in Virignia is in somewhat of a drought state and it probably filled quickly when the well was first bored. Do you think two days is enough to have a good supply of water. I assume I'll have to clorinate again since I ran too much out.
