K last week we had the well driller out to drill down a well for us since before we were only on a spring well and that one would dry our on Occcassion - so we bit the bullet and dished out to have a well drilled.
Well guy came out.. witched the property and said o.k. this is the spot (whicc I was not happy with as it was directly in our front yard about 5 feet from my flower garden) but not a problem where the water is we can always make a nice pump house or cover or somthing over the pipe.
Well Guy gets drilling - goes down 85 feet and hits an Artesian well - Im thinking great - well he caps it off - collects his over 3K money on on the way he goes (and of course it does not seal tightly) as the water is flowing around the pipe and out from the cap - so the cement he used to secure the pipe is not hardening as it is always wet.
Now we cannot get a pump guy out here to put a submersible pump in as he says its to wet and we have to let it dry out first - well its never going to dry out and the cement get hard when there is constant water spilling on it constantly.
Its been running now for a week and the cement is still like mush - we have a trench kind of routing the water to the creek but our yard looks like crap and its really mushy and wet.
I have called the well guy a couple times for suggestions and he has not responded back to me. Always just ended talking to his wife and she will have him call back etc..
I guess question is is there some kind of adpator (maybe pitless that we can use temporaraly to seal the pipe and attach a hose to the top so we can re route the water away from the pipe so the cement has a chance to dry out?
I was looking at this item on **** - would this do the triick or maybe somthing simular.

Its called Spilt Top 6x1" Well Seal Kit / 1" Pitless Adapter.
Were getting desperate - and feel like the pump and well guys just bailed on us and were left with a big mess to deal with on our own.
Thank you,
