Hey everyone,
Could use some advice. I'm putting in a water well at my place in upstate NY, just south of the Catskills. So, not in the mountains but below. I'm talking to both pounded/driven-well installers, mostly old-timers, who swear that pounded are better than drilled. But the drilled-well guys say the same thing about theirs. Drilled says I can expect to go down ~400 feet. Pounded says they've drilled second wells to replace dried-out drilled wells, but have only had to go down ~200 feet to get 10 gpm.
Does anybody have any thoughts on drilled vs. pounded in general, or in the Ulster/Greene County area of NYS?
I know pounded costs more upfront, and take longer to install. Neither of those are deal-breakers. So, all other things being equal, which would you go with?
Thanks!
Dave
