Water Well Question?
I've just moved into a ten year old house I recently purchased. I am generally handy but well and septic are new to me.
In looking to shock chlorinate my well as the prior owners let everything deteriote I have come up with perhaps a silly question - I have paperwork indicating my well is a 6.25" diameter steel well. What appears to me at first glance (appearance and location relative to the pump inside the house) to be the well unexpectedly had all sorts of wires at the top when I pulled off the cap. I had expected this to be in a separate area.
So does this still sound like my well? Or do I need to gently dig adjacent to this? I have only gone a few inches around thus far - but some early owners built a porch over the well area so it is possible there is an originallyunplanned few inches of dirt.
I am thinking yes and i need to pull the wires out of the way and look down with a flashlight to confirm, but there are is quite a lot of length to these wires in the way.
The wires you are seeing are probably going to the ELECTRIC pump located at the bottom of the well. You should also see a rope of some kind that the wires are twined around. Removing the wires may prove to be a tedious job. Wear thick gloves and clothes you don't plan to wear to a party because for some reason the rope gets FILTHY over time. I know this because I have replaced several well pumps.
To asnwer the other part of the question, there are a few different sizes for wells. There is the older, more traditional well that is 3'-6' wide while there is the machine dug well which could be no more than 3" wide.
If you are unsure, I would recommend calling a pro even just to look at it and confirm, if doing the actual work is your thing.
