Only one well driller in the Lakes Region will provide/offer a fixed price.

All the others provide an "estimate" which can be totally meaningless.

You can visit a NH state web site that does provide information as to depths of wells near you. That can be meaningless also.

If you are paying by the foot you are at the mercy of the good intentions of the well drilling company. Are you able to tell when a well driller hits water? Do you have the ability to tell how many gallons per minute the well produces?

Ask around from others who did have a well drilled recently. Ask for the total price including all trenching, all tanks, pump, and electrical hook-up. The total price. Then compare that to the "estimate" that was provided.

All well drillers are hard working good honest folks. It just comes in degrees of such.

Never ever ask a well driller about powered cement.
