Types of Wells

In many areas wells are the only way to access groundwater. There are three most common wells based on how they are made: dug wells, driven wells, and drilled wells (Waller, 1999).

Driven wells are built by driving a small diameter pipe into soft ground, like driving a nail into wood. Driven wells are only efficient at reaching shallow water.

Drilling is the most common way to create a well today. Drilled wells typically are constructed from 25-400+ feet in depth.

Water Levels in Wells


Water levels in wells vary according to seasonal variations in rainfall, recharge rate, and pumpage. The surface that represents the level to which water will rise in a tightly cased (sealed) well is the potentiometric surface. This surface is the result of all the pressures on groundwater. The water table is a particular potentiometric surface for unconfined aquifers. The water surface in a well into an artesian aquifer rises above the level of the aquifer, because the water is being pushed toward the potentiometric surface (Fetter, 1994).

When water is pumped from a well faster than water can refill the pore spaces around the well, the potentiometric surface is lowered in the area of the well. The vertical change in the level of the potentiometric surface at the well is called the drawdown. Drawdown is most dependent on the rate of pumping. The 3-dimensional deflection of the potentiometric surface around the well is the cone of depression, and is controlled by the speed of recharge to the pore spaces near the well.

A cone of depression in one well can impact the water level in a nearby well. Above, well B is pumping out groundwater, thereby lowering the water level in well A, which is not pumping. If pumping at well B increases, the cone of depression can lower the water level sufficiently to leave well A dry.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

NEW NEW NEW!

To demonstrate our ongoing commitment to sustaining your valuable Groundwater system, we are offering a new preventative maintenance service that will add years to the life of your system.

We start by analyzing your well system (checking your well cap, gauge, switch and tank). We confirm that everything is working properly and make recommendations for anything that is not. We will collect a water sample and have it tested for bacteria. The water sample results will be available 2-3 days after your inspection and we will contact you with the results and send you a copy for your files. If your water sample does not pass we will make recommendations with the necessary steps to correct it. The Preventative Maintenance Inspection will take approximately one hour to complete and there will be no interruption of your water service. Lastly, we will provide a comprehensive written report with our findings.
