Well pump went out.

[jim]

Learn something new every day, I did not know that replacing a well pump was so expensive. $1600. 300' down, have to replace some pipes, new wiring, new water test, ....

And here I thought our water was free.

grrrrrrr.................

300 feet? Holy Schmoldy, that's a deep well. But at least the water is probably a lot cleaner than what you could pull out of the Fox River.

I was surprised too, but now that I think of it we are up on a ridge top and when I go down to fish my local stream my ears pop going down the hill. Looking at a topo map the stream is bit over 1/2 mile as the crow flies but 350 feet lower in elevation. So it makes sense that the wells in the area are that deep.

you don't miss your water till the well runs dry.

You have 350 ft of elevation change without the Sears Tower? In Illinois?
