Drilling water well cost

Anyone drill a water well near Buck Lake lately?

Looking for average cost for drilling and installing a pump at a recreational lot. Normal wells are drilled around 100 ft i have been told.

Just looking to possibly doing this this summer.

Just finishing a well. Used Aaron Drilling. M&M were competitive also. Not sure who is in your neighborhood.

Look for the wells in your area. Will give you a good idea of how deep you'll need to go and will list the drilling company that completed them so you can call them and get a price.

I can't remember the cost per foot but I used Papely Water and could not be happier.
He knew my area (N. Pigeon Lake) and found water at the exact depth he figured
I could not be happier with work or the after service they have provided

Black Dog did mine in 2014, here was their pricing:

$36.00 per ft. (includes drilling, casing & liner)
$120.00 Casing Protector, Well Cap & Chlorination
$200.00 Surface Casing Seal
The water well depth is estimated at 140 ft. therefore, the total price is $5,360.00 plus GST.
A pump set up over top of the casing with a pressure tank installed for summer use is $2,800.00 plus GST.
I missed getting them to remove the tailings, left a little pile of mess
