I purchase this property a few years ago and found where the old family home once was. I found the place where the old well once was also. There is a open hole with the casing still in it. The casing is a 8" terrycotter pipe. The well seems to be 55ft. deep and the water level seems to be only about 3ft. Is there any thing that you would recommend to do if I wanted to try something so I could use this well to water the garden? The water has a bad smell at this time. Is this well worth me trying to dig deeperin the same hole with a smaller pipe?
