Default Thomas Well - Yes

We used Thomas Well for Water system. We had a unique system since it supplied two houses and had to be drained for the season. We have a valve shutoff that will drain lines from the well and house when turned. Its buried 4 foot down. We got a number of quotes and they were all within $1000 of each other. We chose Thomas because of the unique syatem and he had answers right off the top of his head. It cost us $2000 more than the quote but that was due to additional deep(531'). We didn't have much of a choice of moving. The well truck had all it could handle since it was under power lines.
On the water from the lake. My friend pumped from the lake during the season. In the winter he disconnects the pump and uses a sump pump and connects to the line to the house. Drains completely when all done using. When I went to a well I left my line to the lake. I was going to do the same thing and put a separate faucet at the camp. The camp is uphill from the lake, gets old fast hauling.
