Ok was getting muddy water in my livestock troughs today and did some checking. After some amatuer camera work I'm noticed parts of my Wells walls have fallen off, exposing the earth, which is falling into the water. I have a seperate well for the house and its more shallow and has a filter but I don't think the filter will last long with all this debris.

Any ideas?

I wonder if you can send down a casing within the casing. You might check that drill it yourself outfit whose name I cant remember, they carry home DIY stuff for wells.

Don't see why not, you might have to replace the gutz but drilling is a major expense. We're replacing ours as we speak, been without water for almost a week and borrowing from friends and neighbors.
