Since our farm house was built in 1927, it had a well inside the basement, and allso a well outside under the windmill. Grandpa used to say that during a drought, the windmill could run dry- it fed an above-ground tank for the cattle to drink from by gravity, a couple hundred feet out behind the barn.
When we remodeled, we removed the basement floor to install drainage and pour a new floor. I decided to try to twist off the first section of well pipe- the whole thing was turning, so I pulled up and pulled the whole well out of the ground! two six-foot sections of pipe and a point. The basement is half in ground and half bermed-up above ground, so four feet plus 12 feet of pipe and three feet of point, total about 20 feet deep. And maybe 50 feet from the septic tank. Always tasted like good water, cold and clear, and never had to carry it in the house!!
Now, we have city water drawn out of Lake Michigan, for the house and barns. My cows have the prettiest teeth of any herd.
