Should you drill a new well?
There are many people around the world with wells that cannot produce enough water for their daily needs, for some the well has even dried up completely. Many are left asking “why my well?”. As frustrating as it can be, having a low producing well is not uncommon or rare.
There are many factors that can cause a well to be low-yielding, and even some of these same factors can lead a well to completely run dry. If the well underproduces or stops producing it can be because the water in the aquifer cannot flow to the well fast enough or at all. There are many factors that can cause this reduction or elimination of production. Environmental aspects, climate and weather changes, geological impacts, antiquated well operations, and more can be a cause for well water reduction. Read more about this in our article on why overpumping your well is harmful.
A person in this situation could be looking at possible ways to solve their low producing well or even no producing well issue. Many well drillers will tell you that you need to drill a new well in a different area. Is this truly the answer? What are the chances that this will solve your well issues? Let’s take a look at when you should drill a new well and what the best solution to these issues are.
Drilling a new well.
Pros
Chance of finding plenty of water for your needs.
A good choice if your current well has run dry.
Cons
The average well drilling costs can be very expensive. (It is not unheard of to spend $100,000 to drill deep enough to get water, or having to try drilling in many different areas.)
No guarantee of getting more water than the current well or any at all.
No guarantee of water quality. A new well could have arsenic or chemicals in the water.
Permitting can be required to drill a new well at an additional cost.
My well has dried up, what should I do?
If your well has completely dried up and there is no more water left in it at any time, then it may be a good idea to look into drilling a new well. There really are no good well recovery options to bring a well back from being completely dry. You can lower down the well pump or drill the well deeper with hopes that you may find a little more water, but at that point, it would probably be best to consult a well driller. More than likely they will recommend drilling a whole new well.
My well is low producing and/or it runs out of water once in a while, what should I do?
