It seems many of you have visited the well!
Many, many thousands have, and for who knows how many years. Over 100 years it seems. We first came to know of this Lake Mine Artesian water source, well in 1979. I was really amazed with it, as can remember my grandfather told me of Artesian wells, and how they worked without any pumping. Ours, and many Sconny, irrigation pivots get their water from a aquifer that runs to where we are located, all the way down from the Western UP's (Gitche Gumee) Lake Superior. It follows between the Wisconsin, and Rock River basins. With this aquifer, our irrigation wells are some what shallow. 45', to 120' covers the most of them depending on at what dept the sand, gravel, or rock material is right for extracting, and pumping the water up and out at high volumes. Gravel is the very best material to be able to do so, and I'm very blessed with that. The static water level in my wells are 8 to 12' depending on their location. They will pull down some 20' while being pumped, and they recover in seconds. I pump between 650, and 1200 gpm. And yes the water is great to drink, but loaded with Iron.
