Cost of having a well drilled
Cost of having a well drilled
What is a rough estimate of what it cost to have a well drilled and an average diesel water pump put on? Large enough to flood land but not for irrigation purposes.

I think you are going to have to know several variables specific to the place you are talking about to get an acurate price. That being said, a friend told me they spent 15,000 before the motor, but I don't know the details. If someone does not post up in a day or two I'll try to get some specifics from him.

16" well, 3000 gals. minute. 60 hp electric motor ( 3 phase)...total cost $14,800. If you go with diesel motor ( actually called a power unit), the well and pump should run about $12,000. Then, you have to buy the power unit which is $10,000. or more. You can rent a power unit for $850. year rather than buy one. Most wells in the Delta only have to drill 75 to 100 feet down unless you are trying to get drinking water.
