Won't mind that in the least. Let me know what your flight plans are.
And dipping the suit in the dumpwater-that-used-to-be-a-swimming-pool.....now, THAT was funny right there! Might be nice to collect a mayonnaise jar of the water and leave it for him - tell him that is what is coming out of the tap!
My MIL's face dropped when I mentioned the heavy metals that could be leeching into the ground water...I don't think they have been using bottled water.

and I still can't get over that..Maybe MIL/FIL will light a fire under his assss..the neighbors blow my mind also..I mean they have to know...when all is said and done please have that well tested..is there city water near by that can be tapped?? or ran to the house??
No, stupid town ran a sewer line right down the street last year, too - would have made sense then to hook up to the town water that runs right around the block at the same time, right? Town engineer couldn't tell me why they wouldn't do it. We've never had a problem with our 40 yr+ septic, but I can't wash my car or water the lawn with the well I have!
Yes, the neighbors know, everyone knows. It is so awkward that everyone kind of ignores it. I got in one poor guy's face in the not-too-distant past, asking what the he!! did I ever do to you, that you support what this woman has done to my family?! Um, not a proud moment for me, and I called him the next day to apologize. But at least he knows how I feel about it, now. Political correctedness bites a$$. No one wants to stand up and say, Whoa! What the HE!! are you thinking?! They all ask me how I am when its just me and them, but they feel like they are intruding if they were to mention if to x....
whatever.
As for their water? Maybe they are hoping for a lawsuit payout when little Johnny is born with a third eye or something...
Honestly don't know the depth of the well. We could never find the damn thing. The house was built before specs like that had to be filed with the town, so there is no record. Nice, huh?
I just hope the water fairies that have been watching over my well for the last dozen years weren't having an affair with x, either. They need to stay here!

the head should be sticking up out of the ground..Got any idea where the pipe comes into the house??
I'm confused as to why you can't wash your car there. I can see not watering the lawn off your well..each house does have it's own well right?? your not on a community well right?? If you have a well, you should have a bladder tank in the basement and a breaker in the electrical box for the well pump.. it's the way they are here anyway
Silly - I'm blonde, but if the head was sticking up out of the ground, don't you think I would have at least tripped over it during the last dozen years? Each house does have its own well, all off of the same aquafier. I have small tank and some mechanical thingy (not sure what its called, but it kicks on when the little tank empties) in the basement, and the pump is in the well (somewhere); I hope it never breaks! We have enough water to take a long shower or bath, but if you run it continuously, like a sprinkler, it can't keep up. The woman next door ran her well dry, and it was a mess! They had to prime it with a hose run to the neighbor's house, and she had brown water for weeks after.
Its like my septic - its old but its working, so I don't want to mess with it.

well I would have thought so..I guess it could be away from the house but that does not really make sense. If you know where the main pipe comes in you might be able to get someione to trace the line out for you..(well witcher) some laugh I'm sure but I've seen it work..also the line should be about 3 feet underground and lots of times the ground will settle around that line so the ground is indented and you can follow it that way..
Sounds like you may have a not very deep well..Mine was deep, 748 feet, cost me $12k to dig it, but like you I never used mione to water the grass and was really careful with it..My STBXMIL sank one one time because she wanted to keep her place pretty during a drought.. she is a DASTBXMIL by the way..just sayin
BTW not all well caps are visible above ground. Ours is completely buried UNDERground as we learned the hard way one winter.
When the pump motor on the well died -- we could NOT find the well cap and it was January -- meaning a snow-covered backyard.
We knew approximately where the well was located-- but we ended up having a lot of the backyard plowed and then DUG UP to find the well.
We live in a large, one level, rambling country house, and in our case, the pipes leading into the house were UNDER the deck that runs along the entire back of our house -- so there was just no real way to discover where that well cap was!
They had metal detectors etc. and tried to pinpoint the location before they started digging for it -- no luck. There was no way to find it except to do a lot of digging.
It turned out to be right in front of the deck outside the MBR. I'm lucky that the well didn't end up being under the deck! The previous owners who'd completely renovated the house and added the MBR and the deck -- could have just as easily ended up making the deck a foot wider and we'd never have found it!
Now it is clearly marked on a map the plumber made for us.
We were just lucky that the people we'd bought from even had a vague idea where the well was or we'd probably have had to excavate the entire property!

wonder why they would bury it?? You got any ideas Summer?? Too bad that they had to dig the property up but I'm glad it's fixed now..Well problems are awful. for sure
