PERMITS

Permits are required by the cities to dig a well. You can get the permit on your own or we can do the legwork for you.

THE RIGHT SPOT

The cities require that you know where the water and sewer lines lay in your property. If you're not sure, you can call Miss Utility to find your buried utility lines. The well must also be at least 10 feet from your home.

Southeastern Pump and Well Service can assist you in finding the right spot to place your well.

To get the water you need from the aquifer to your home or irrigation system, we use pumps built by STA-RITE.

1. Each American household uses in excess of 476,000 gallons of fresh water a year. We drink an average of 1 billion glasses of tap water per day.
2. Approximately 42 million people ( US Geological Survey, 1995 ) in the U.S. obtain water from their own private drinking water supplies. Most of these supplies are drawn from a local aquifer* through wells, but some households also use water from streams or cisterns. *Aquifer – An underground formation or group of formations in rocks and soils containing enough ground water to supply wells and springs.
   
3. For every foot of a 6" diameter well below the water line is 1 1/2 gallons of water.
4. Nationwide, wells produce an average of 4-10 gallons of water per minute.
5. An average person will use 75-150 gallons of water a day.
