Water--maybe! :)

Hope you find some water!

As long as it's water and not oil. How do they figure out where to
drill? Hope it doesn't take to long to finish the job.

[Kfamr]

Wow.. I couldn't imagine having to drill that far for water!

LOL! If we hit above 100 feet, it will be wonderful! We have friends who had to go 220 before they hit anything. The guy who delivers our water now goes to several places with 300 foot dry holes in their yards!

Those are pretty deep dry holes!

Good Luck finding GOOD Water!

BUTT ... if it comes in dry - consider using it as a GeoThermal well -
circulate some water through the hole in pipes and run the water
through a Heat Pump = Cheap Heat for the house!

Wow! My parents well is 75 feet deep. Recently the pump died so they had to uncap the well, fish out the old pump and drop down the new one.

Dad said the water was black from settled sediment.

Good luck!!

Good luck with the drilling. Wishes that you hit clean, clear water.

Glacier ~ I hope they hit water soon. When we drilled our well at the cabin, we hit water at about 80 feet. Unfortunately, we also hit 3 coal seams. Our water is tea colored and tastes awful. Sooooo, we're still hauling water. Ahhh! Life in the Last Frontier!

Oh, that's a bummer! I don't think we have to worry about coal. Sulphur might be a problem. There's alot of that around here! Do you have water delivery or haul your own?

We haul our own water from Anchorage. The well is at our cabin -- we had plans on of building a retirement home there at one time. Due to the water situation and Bobcat's health, we decided not to.

Any progress on the well? What depth are they at now?

Not much progress. He got to about 50 feet last night and then something broke on the drilling rig. He's been here all day fixing it and expects to start drilling again later this afternoon!

We had a couple people come out and dowse or witch the property. Two of them said this spot was the best. One of them said we had no water. He used a different method and was a little creepy! We are hoping he was wrong!

Thanks. I was thinking of a dowser stick but couldn't remember what
it was called.

And I turn on the tap and take it all for granted (except the bill!).

I sure hope you hit clear, delicious water!
