Drilling a Well



Construction is beginning on a new custom home on Lot 21. The first step was drilling a well. Mitch Mathews did the drilling. He's been doing it for 32 years in Moses Lake and has a good reputation.

He started at 8 am and was done by 2:30 that afternoon. Drilled 175 feet and hit good water - roughly 85 gallons per minute, many times more than a household can use.

The cost for the well was $7,000, including tax. The pump will cost another $3,300 or so, installed.
