Naw, they definitely Know their well business and are great people.....they just don't want to spend their time making electrical repairs.....they are always busy and put great emphasis on getting water to their customers....they are the only well people in this area, so they are never looking for work or something to do....it was a father and his 2 sons that started it about 50-60yrs ago and most of the workers are family that have continued the business....

My guess is that legally anyone you pay to touch electrical circuits better be a master electrician unless they are an apprentice and the ME is there to check on the work. Don't know about plumbers and well drillers. I've done plenty of my own plumbing and electrical (legal to work on your own house), never drilled a well.

This one is under, 175' of heavy clay soil.....took them a bit to get it done.....

I mentioned before that our well is right at 1450'. It's deep enough that is is listed with the agency (whichever that is) that is in charge of the nuclear emergency management.

Why?

Because if there was a nuclear emergency they would come and take our water since it would be safe to drink.

So just how deep does a well have to be in order to be safe to drink? A normal well around here is 600 feet. The local community well a block away is over twice that depth.

Hmmm.....something tells me that "they" would be only too glad to take your water and not be too concerned about you or your little community.

And here I thought they figured they could store spent fuel rods down in Mike's well!

That I don't know Bay. We didn't know anything about that until some guy from the government showed up one day after we bought the property and got our contact information for their registry. If they ever have to activate that program I'm not sure I want to be around anyway.

Well, I decided to fire up the grill, since it is the holiday wknd and have to keep to a southern "tradition" of grilling between the holidays that begin and end summer here.....I can't relinquish my moniker and have to be true to my "roots"...
I would have sent invitations, but everybody sounds so dang Busy that I didn't want ya to feel obligated to have to show up, but we got enough on the grill for a couple of meals....and a few "snacks".....I have a huge picnic that I'm saving for if I get any legal papers that give me the house and some land....there will be a Celebration....I promise!!....but here is my grill pic..... .....I know some will cringe, but we are sauce people, but I let it cook some before, so the sauce isn't just bottled sauce dumped on some meat....the rain held off and let me get to cutting some earlier, may go squeeze in the back field before sundown......
