Planning a private well on rural land? Three variables will shape most of the cost and placement:
✅ Well depth
✅ Distance from the well to the house
✅ Septic placement and required separation
Before signing a contract, look beyond the per-foot drilling rate. Ask whether the quote includes casing, pump equipment, electrical work, trenching, water testing, and possible additional drilling.
A clear written scope can turn a rough estimate into a more useful building budget.
