Don, I found out that the new well just dug behind the Zanoni post office
is 750 feet. Coline said the cost will likely be over $10,000.
Good day that's costly. Well drilling in our neck of the woods runs $10 per
foot, but that's been the going price for the last few years.
Water is becoming the next oil, there's a shortage of fresh water world wide
that's only going to worsen. I'd say well drillers will command a hefty
price per foot as time goes by.
