Thats pretty neat. A lot of folks have no concept of where their water comes from....just turn on the tap.

My well is also over 100 years old.When I first bought my property,I was pouring a concrete top for the well.An older guy stops by asking If I was using the old well.I said I was and he said his grandfather had dug that well.He knew just how deep it was,30 feet. he said it has never gone dry,and neighbors used to stop by to get water from it when they were having trouble with their wells.I have access to city water but never tied into it.I still use the old well.

Those shallow wells are far more likely to be contaminated . Just because it tastes good and does not have an odor doesn't make it a good well

Since the small shops have closed, the last couple times buying shallow well parts have been a real head ache. People that work at the chain stores don't know they exist. Uncle just bought one at farm supply, I'm watching to see how it holds out. I probably should bite it and buy submersible next time.
Been on shallow well all my life, and I'm far from normal lol.

Food for thought is (if you can believe it) that atrazine turns male frogs into females. If your singing a little higher or not croaking as low as you used to well then, I haven't seen the antidote! There are a lot of medicines and hormones in most city water, that cause men to be more feminine and females more masculine. I believe that those chemicals are part of the cause of liberals. The chemicals change human thought. Keith
