We're building a new house and we're going to need a well. Unfortunately, our neighbour drilled 300 feet and did not find water. (He had problems with his existing well and wanted a new one) This is not good news for us. There is an old unused well on our property. It was last used 40 years ago by the campgrounds that used to be there. So today, me and my dad measured the water level in that old well. We found water at 15 feet and the bottom at 79 feet. That's a 64 feet column of water. To find the water level, we lowered a water bottle with a little bit of water in it. To find the bottom of the well, we lowered some bolts. The next step is to put a pump in the well and see how much water the well can provide. If the well still works, it will save us some money. (We won't have to pay for a new well)
