I just had a well drilled down to 300 ft. We are only getting 1/2 gpm. It was 54 ft to bedrock. while drilling to bedrock the driller made the satement that its too bad you cant use all this water in the watertable cause its almost a river. I had never known what a wellpoint was till today. I have seen them at tsc but didnt know what they were. Here is my ?. about 3 ft down there is a gravel type chirt. Brown gravel and what looks like brown sand. I know its about 20ft to the water table and on down to bedrock is the river of water he was talking about. Can I use a wellpoint to get this river of water he was talking about? If so should I get him to drill me another hole about 40ft or so or could I drive a pipe thru this type gravel to water.
