HERE,to make it legal for drinking you have to install a chlorinator on it,if your using surface or lake water(for drinking) .How far above the house?I may still have a chart somewhere at home that tells how much pressure for each ft of fall.Or you could probably find it on the net.lots of times though when you start messing with them you seal them off and they stop flowing.especially in sand.Had a neighbor family that had four girls years ago that simply took a old barrel,cut the bottom and top off and worked it slowly down into ground over a matter of several days.After they had barrel down in ground,with only about six inches sticking up, they dipped out inside and put a top on with and a overflow out the side,then poured cement around out side to stop seepage.They got every bit of the water they used out of it for about 50 years.But they would boil their drinking/cooking water . If you are down hill you could try doing the same with a pipe from the over flow running to tank or a cistern where you could treat it if needed.
