Have you ever charged for a dry hole?

Have you ever hit a dry hole?

Have you ever hit inadequate water?

If the answer is no, you must be drilling in an area where water is easy to find.

You never answerred the questions.

We have some hard areas, I make wells in them.

There are many new and modern ways to do things.

The granite layer here is 90-100 ft deep.

If a well driller does not hit water he continues drilling as deep into granite as it takes to create a "resevoir)

Since you get billed by the foot why should the well driller care how deep he has to drill--------$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Naturally, he wouldn't want to drill where a witcher found water at 67 ft and make only a small amount of $$

Never have. We have ways of making wells from about anything now.

The problem to the south west of me is salt if you go to deep, now we capac and cement the salt.

To the north it is gypsum, we liner there too.

Around me we have lots of water but, some is hard. It can be just lived with or, treated.
