We hit water, but maybe too much. Well is 55' deep with a 1/2 horse submersible, hooked to a 20 gal pressure tank in cabin. We found that it overflows out of well cap unless we leave the outside faucet open ( and power off) and then it comes out the hose at a rate of 1 pint every 15 seconds. Questions are- do we dig down and put a bib about 1-2 feet down and run it out and let it flow on ground? (area can flood) also worried about this freezing this winter- We are in Kansas.
Not too interested in making a real pond, property already has a creek, pond and watershed.
We are looking for some other suggestions here. It was perfectly clear till this last big rain and now it is very very dirty, Unsure whether that is because dirt around well had washed away while overflowing and is now running down outside of well casing or because creek and water table was stirred up by flooding.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
