Help with shallow hand pump well in Maine
I want to basically do a sand point well with a simple pitcher pump, its just very rocky here. I am willing to hire someone, but all the well drilling around here looks to be for super deep electric wells, which I do not want.
Is there equipment I could rent to drill past the rocks on my own?
Does anyone have experience with this in my area? The water 20' to 30' down should be clean but I still plan to purify it. I live on a slope that has a lot of water running down this time of year, so I should be able to hit a reliable vein not too deep, I think.
I have been getting very mixed results in my search to figure this stuff out, it would be great to find someone with direct experience.
