Well Drilling and Shipping contacts?

Post by Stubburn Irishman »

Who are the available drillers that serve the Island and what seems to be the average depth needed to drill and the cost?

Who would I contact to ship cargo container(s) to the island?

Thanks in advance

Jason.

Well depths vary considerably on the island. I've heard of quite shallow wells and others like ours is over 150 ft. The deeper wells tap into the Lake Superior aquifer. Or so I have read.

Our well on the east side south of the campground is about 80' as are most of our neighbors

My well was about 60 ft. deep near Donegal Bay, It was done last Summer by Bud Martin. I could not be happier. Great water, great set up!
