The drilling company came back on Friday and installed the pump into my new well. Here are some pictures of the process. The pump was set 10 feet from the bottom at 110ft.

Not bad! Now, hopefully, the water clears up and I never run out. It is a little cloudy still. I suspect I will need some type of iron removal unit eventually as well.

try cleanmywater.com .... they'll test it for ya for free (then sell you what you need) I sent a sample to them and another to Texas A&M -- samples taken at the same time -- and the results were the same. Just thought it might be good to have a check & balance on their test. After all - they are in business to sell me something. (which they did)
