For example, two well drilling companies -- one in Pennsylvania and one that covers New Hampshire, Vermont and central Massachusetts -- state the cost for drilling a well and outfitting it with pump equipment averages between $5,000 and $7,000, at the time of publication.
An irrigation well can cost in excess of $40, 000. and as much as $150,000 or more. The actual cost will depend upon the depth to groundwater, the desired well capacity, and cho ices. among a variety of well drilling, well design, well construction, and well development considerations. Given this magnitude of. investment, it is easy to understand the motivation to save on costs at every possible opportunity. This issue of this informa tional.
