Hi ya guys have to make a new surface well, using 7 segments of ciment pipe, 36 x 30 inches , the bottom one being porous.
I have dug a hole 56 inches in diameter, and am now 72 inches deep.In about another 30 inches should start to have water. I have sent a pic of the job , shot from the roof, when it was at 4 feet deep.
When we hit the water line we will drop down 3 sections of pipe, I will tie the pipe from the inside with chains to tie them togher so as to be sure they slowly drop down together as I dig out the sand from the bottom, inside the stacked pipes. there will be a total of 7 sections and the cover.

I'm sitting on five holes in Utah right now which are about 20' deep a piece. Three are dry and two have about four feet of water in them. I've been watching them to see if their water level changes with the level of my creek. I'm headed up there tomorrow to see if I'm going to bury them or develope them.
If anyone has any skeletons in their closet they need to take care of PM me.:cool:

ya well we have 5 pipe 36 x 30 standing in the hole, ther will be one more section on top of that one plus the cap . we are now in 50 inches of water so when we dig , we have to pomp out the water first. the water comes in a a slow pace since the sand is very fine, this makes it very difficult to dig down further (50 inches more is required ). so monday we will call on the survices of a waste vacuum truck, to siphon out the last 50 inches.
let ya know how it goes.
