WATER WELLS
Commonly Asked Questions and Answers

Q. How much water do I need and what if I don’t find enough?

A: Athough rare it is possible to drill in one location and find 100’s gpm of quality potable water and drill on a neighboring spot within a few hundred feet and get nothing. Hydrogeology reports in Georgia are not complete enough to alleviate this “drill and see” approach. 98% of the time enough water is found on a single well to meet the needs of a single household (25gpm). If not enough water is found a process called surging or hydrofracturing has been used to double the gpm.
