Drilling new well

January 21, 2003

Atlantic Coast Water & Well Drilling came on board, providing us with a whole new water system, including drilling a new well behind the dome. The well was drilled down to 105 feet, and the water is there. Kinetico will be installing a new purification system after the well is ready.

The installation will take several days to create a cavern at the base of the well for the water to gather. It has been pumping on a timer for the past few days. It has to be 75' from the septic tank system, so this was the logical place for the new well.
