Making an old well sanitary

That does not even cover the pump system. Make sure you don't get talked into a Variable Speed Pump system or you will be in the same trouble as this guy.https://terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28173

Believe it or not this contractor actually spec'd out a CSV on the two pump options they submitted with thier well proposal.

2nd proposal in...

$12,779 to include
300 ft deep, 8" diameter well bore
300 ft SDR 17 pvc casing (100 ft of it perforated)
6" pvc cap
20 foot sanitary seal
300 ft gravel pack
6 x 6 x 6 concrete pad
mobilization
all permiting

This ends up being $42.60/foot.

Pump scenario submitted totaled $5,867.39 installed for 3 hp pump/motor/apputenances.

Thoughts?

Always pays to get a second opinion!
