I just found out a few days ago that my local water utility wants to double my water rate. Now I don’t use a lot of water. But I also don’t let the grass die in my yard either. That said, some months I have to water the lawn. Normally, I would get a $50 bill and just pay it know I am saving my lawn during a drought. Now it is going to be $100. I don;t know if I can live with that. (My neighbors already spend $300 a month on water for their yard!)

Solution, install a well. I have talked about it before but now I am motivated to act. The state of Indiana has a great tool. It is called Indiana Map. Ha ha! But it lets me look up other wells in the area. Most have water at only 15 feet or less. I have found a great how to website. Videos and Question section are wonderful.

From another blog, I already know what I need. I just have to put an order together and start jetting.

I have called everywhere to source my PVC well pieces. No luck. I even tried to have Ace Hardware ship-to-store. That did not work either. So I am left with hitting the Internet again.I may have found a site but I will have to await to see if they have what I need in stock. At this point I don’t trust a website’s “In-stock” announcement. Found another link, this is the best by far! Perfect! I was originally going to purchase the wrong thing. Now I am just going to do it just like the instructions state. Could not be any easier.

I hope shipping is not too expensive.
