I got my well drilled last Fall. It's 170 feet deep, cased to 105 feet, and water level is 50 feet. I'm in SW Missouri in the Ozarks.
Here's what I have right now:
I would like to get water to my (non-heated) barn, which is 40 feet to the East of this well, and sometime later get water to my house site which is going to be located 80 feet NW of the well. The house site is about 10 feet lower in elevation than the well and the existing barn. I have a good deal of construction experience, and am capable of building a good wellhouse, but do I need a wellhouse? Ideally I'd like to get water to my barn this Spring, but I won't start construction on my house for another 2 years.
Is there some way I can put a pressure tank in my non-heated barn, and be able to drain everything in the late Fall when temps drop so nothing freezes up, and then be able to turn the water back on in the Spring without building a wellhouse?
