If you're physically able, why not DIY? Irrigation wells are usually pretty shallow in Florida.

If you live in a HOA, make sure it's allowed before you go any further. Most do not allow wells.

Not ones with good fresh water and low tannin levels they're not, you need to get down past the limestone to get good water quality.

The OP just wanted irrigation water, so the quality shouldn't really matter.

Sure it does if it's crap quality it'll stain the house, the car the sidewalks and everything it touches, ruin the pump and eventually dry out. I had no idea you were such an expert in so many things especially things well out of your personal expertise, and it seems like stalking when on EVERY thread I post on your post ironically (or not) pops just after mine?

Don't flatter yourself.

I use reclaimed water from a rentention pond--total crap water and zero problems with staining, the pump, nada. I keep my car in the garage. Where it belongs.

I thought as much, clueless as usual, reclaimed water has been chemically treated and filtered not once but twice and has none of the staining issues that ground water does.. Even if it is just a rain water retention pond that still applies as rain water does not contain the same minerals such as tannin and most other contaminants have already settled out, most of the damaging minerals and enzymes, but I'm done debating the technical nuances of water quality and chemistry with a complete novice, you can learn from one who has more than 25 years in the business and is well past being considered an expert or continue to be silly, I won't argue the point with you anymore.. Not worth my time, my advice is to the OP he can take it or leave it..

BTW I'm not at all flattered by the unwanted attention, stalker...
