Groundpoint (sandpoint) well info...

I had promised a few weeks ago that I'd post some information regarding our well. We are going to use a ground point well that will allow us to get the water from our very high water table. I'm hoping to get it installed soon because I'd like to test the water and make sure that it is safe. If it isn't safe to drink we'll have to bring some drinking water in from another source like bottled water from the CO-OP in Oak Lake or something. I know that there are options for hard water like water softeners and also iron filters and things like that so I think we should be ok as far as that is concerned. I've talked to quite a few people in Oak Lake regarding their ground point wells and many of them have good water. There are a few that have an iron filter and need a softener though. It's nice to know that the water is ready and available though. It would be very a pain to have to haul water for our place with the price of gas etc.

I've done some research online and a bunch of talking with neighbors and friends regarding ground point wells. I'll place a link in the side bar for a great site that I found that provides details on installing the well. We probably will do things a little differently but it gives you an idea of what I'm doing with the pictures and diagrams provided.
