Is this hole good for anything

   / Is this hole good for anything #11  
I've been told that dry holes can be cut up and used for post holes. Don't know as I've not tried it. :)


I did that, installed 10 holes, then found that size post was no longer available,,, :confused2:

As I recall, they bent the casing on this one, then drilled a new one 15 feet over.

Maybe 5 feet at the most from my new well

Then I would concur with those who say to fill and cap it, to avoid contamination of your new well.

It really should have been cemented off. (Inside of pipe filled with cement) Did the drillers seal off around the outside of the casing down a ways ?

Water proof capping it off now is a REAL good idea. You do not want any chance of surface water getting down to the water table either through the inside of the pipe or around the outside of the casing.

Talk to the township or state DEQ and get instructions on how to seal it off properly...that hole is a direct route for groundwater contamination.

I am surprised the guys that dug the well left it like they did. I would call the county to find out the proper way to cap it off.

In my county, my old well had to be inspected by the county before,during and after I caped with bentonite it OR a licenced well contractor had to do all the work and send proof to the county.

They did say they would seal it off when they came back to do the pump ect ( still waiting for that call ) or I could buy that hole for 2400 dollars.

Ive heard but know nothing about people A/Cing their homes with a well of some sorts, dont even know what its called so I couldnt google it to find out what thats about. I thought maybe this was an option since I havent started building yet.

That would be the geothermal heat pumps.
The other option could be;Well Hand Pump For your 3 Feet Deep water well
