I was wondering how much it usually takes to install a well when there isn’t one already on a property. A well is an attractive option for me because it means no monthly water bills…but how expensive is it to get started, on average?
Has anyone ever set up a payment plan for a well? That would be better than a lifetime of water payments. If someone out there has been able to get a company to agree to a payment plan, I might be able to use that as leverage.
Are homeowners required to pay for the inspection?

I live in NC and the town I want to move to has an above-average amount of rainfall per year. Isn’t that a fairly good sign?
Getting a well is looking pretty scary. But I also hate the idea of paying a water bill every month, because it’s hard to budget for fluctuating bills.
here is everything you would need to do it..

The older wells are a 2 inch diameter. if this is the case you my need to have a new 4inch well drilled we payed $2600 including pump and pressure tank wiring…..this is for all new, I am not sure of the depreciated value.
This would depend on a lot of different things.
1. Would your city/township allow a well to be dug?
2. How far down is the water?
3. Is there water on your property?
4. How much would it cost you to find out if there is water on your property?
5. Check with companies in your area on how much they charge per foot, to drill.
Very expensive,even years ago. Probably thousands of dollars, starting of course with digging down to the water level and what they have to deal with in the ground. You should be able to get up to date info.on the Internet.Good luck!

300 foot well in Northern California = $13k. No joke, my inlaws had it done this week. This is just to have it dug, and extra $10k for the rest of the system.
Now for a look into the ugly side…..wells can go dry in just a few years. Our friends’ wells has gone dry two or three times. They don’t have any water at all where they live so they have to keep digging for new wells. Very costly.
We have a well for watering the yard only. We cannot drink it.
Water wells have to be inspected once per year. If they find anything wrong with it, they can close it down or tell you you can only use it for watering the gardens. This is what happened in our neighbourhood.
The best thing to do is keep your options open to be able to go back on city water if the need arises.
I’m in South Carolina and mine was about $4000 five years ago.
Neighbors are reworking their well after it went dry… from a little deeper than about 100 ft to about 600… $10K + new pump

Well, around here the hole itself averages $10-$12 per foot. Then add the pipe (mine was 6″), the pump, sand trap, wiring to the pump etc. You’ll probably end up paying $18 to $25 per foot, depending on how deep they have to go, how much water is down there and current requirements where you live.
