About 2 weeks ago, the water turned clay colored. We had suspected our well was going bad, but hated to admit it. The man that put in the new well, told us that a fly-by-night well driller came through this area and put in new wells with 4" plastic casing. Many of them have failed. We seemed to be one of them. Well.........we had a new well drilled this week. They went down almost 700 feet to hit good water. Took 2 days to drill that far - now they need to come back and pull the pump we replaced 2 years ago from the old well and drop it down into the new well. Soon - we will have good water again. We're showing the rig set up - very interesting to say the least. They use an auger that goes down with the 6" steel casing, with the hole created with high pressured water. It was noisy for 2 days, but worth it. Now, maybe our white's will be white again.....Life on the ranch........the price we pay... you won't believe the cost of a new well in these parts.
