Shallow Wells

A well is considered to be shallow if it is under 50' and constructed above the bedrock. Shallow wells are also referred to as dug wells, wash wells or gravel wells. Shallows wells are dependent upon soil type and in most cases surrounded by a sandy gravel material. A screen is installed at the bottom of the casing that is used to hold back the sand or gravel while allowing water to flow through. The diameter of a shallow well is usually between 1-1/4" and 2". Shallow wells can be used for drinking water and/or irrigation and often produce a very high yield.

Well Killer No. 1 - Cracked, Broken or Missing Well Caps

The cap, which should be sealed tightly at all times, keeps out everything from liquid contaminants to bugs that can crawl inside a well and wreak havoc. Do not landscape around the well cap. The top of the well should be at least 1' above the ground.
