SEBASTOPOL — Host, Sarah Rutan: When choosing a location for drilling a well, you need to take several factors into consideration. To learn more, we’re in Sebastopol with Brandon Burgess of Weeks Drilling &amp; Pump Company, speaking on behalf of Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Charlie Judson.
Brandon Burgess: When trying to figure out the best place to drill a well – there are things to consider. One is setbacks. Most counties have a setback requirement of 100 feet to a septic system. Five feet, sometimes 10 feet to a property line.
Another thing to consider is access. The equipment that’s needed to drill a well is pretty large. We usually need about a 60-foot-long by 40-foot-wide area to be able to access with the drill equipment.
In regard to geology and best place and depth to complete a water well, sometimes it would be beneficial – depending on the size of the property &#8212; to contact your local hydrogeologist, or geologist for records pertaining to depth and composition of material that water is most commonly found. In other areas you’re more confined by setbacks to septic systems and a location where I can actually access the well. So, those are all things to think about.
